Adult Sunday School Class Series: Everything in Between
Sundays January 12 through March 2, 9:30 am
Meets in 5 Vinton
Bible study led by Rev. Tim Hughes Williams on the gospel according to John, with book “Encounters with Jesus: Studies In The Gospel of John” by Francis Taylor Gench as optional partner text.
We are in the great in-between, the fleeting weeks between Christmas and Lent. What a perfect time to take a fresh look at the stories of Jesus between the birth narratives and the Passion. The Adult Education class (Sundays, 9:30am, Vinton Kitchen) will read much of the Gospel of John over 8 weeks, with special attention to the events of Jesus’ adult ministry. Each Sunday, there will be focal text to discuss in class, but motivated readers can read the entire Gospel along the way.
You can purchase “Encounters with Jesus” here: https://www.amazon.com/
