Take a walk with Paul.
July 6, 13, 20 - 9:00 a.m.,
 In the Lounge

Join Rev. Dr. Andrew McDonald
for a three week examination of the Apostle Paul. Paul, before his conversion, persecuted Christians
and sought to thwart the growth of the Christian movement. After his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, Paul became the leader of the Christian movement and spread Christianity around the ancient world.

His travels throughout the ancient world are well documented through his letters, but more than letters, these writings became the backbone of Christianity. Join Dr. McDonald as he shares new insight into the life and work of this prominent Christian figure.

July 27 -- At the Movies
Movie and discussion TBA.
