“Why Church?” Adult Bible Study begins next Wednesday January 10th // Have you ever wondered why we do things we do in church? Why do we use the word "catholic" in our Creed that we recite every Sunday? Why are there three different Scriptures read every week (and how are they chosen)? Why do ministers wear a gown (known as an "alb") during church service? Why do the colors change in the sanctuary? Together, we'll take a fresh and interactive look at these "whys" (and so many more!) in the church! We will explore why we do what we do as a church, as Christians, and as Lutherans. Got a "why" question? Bring it along! We will discover the answers together every Wednesday night, beginning January 10th from 6-8pm. Put it on your calendar!

Bring enough to serve at least four, and we’ll see whose dish goes home with bragging rights for being most popular. It’s going to difficult to beat Pastor Kelly’s taco salad!
