“I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU”: Pastor Kramer will be starting and adult instruction class, titled, “I Have Good News for You.” It covers the basic Christian doctrines in ten lessons, each lasting about an hour and a half. Upon completion of the course, you may join the church, but there is no obligation to do so. The course is also an excellent Biblical review for those who are already members. If you are interested, please speak to the pastor or sign up on the bulletin board. We will try to work with your schedules; cassette tapes will be also available for those unable to attend class. Tentative time- Sunday after services or any weekday evening.
