September 8th is the kickoff for our Fall Bible Study as we begin our study of Galatians and share in Holy Communion. We will meet each week from 3–4 PM in the Stanley Harrell Classroom for Bible-to-life discussions led by Pastor Patrick. Galatians reminds us that we are saved by faith in God’s grace, not by our deeds. We are called to love and serve one another in the name of Jesus, and we are reminded that Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, setting us free to live a life of following Him. Come and join us each week as we explore Galatians and discover how God’s Word applies to our everyday lives.
