Adult Forum Series Sundays 9:15 am

“Table Talks” 

Martin Luther used to get together with friends and students around the dinner table to talk about Scripture and Theology, just for fun! These sessions are known as Luther’s “Table Talks.” In our Spring Adult Forum Series, we will get together to do the same — discuss questions that were submitted by our members. Pastors will take turns presenting these topics:

April 6     How Can I Create a Habit of Prayer?

April 13   When Did Jesus Go to Heaven?

April 20   What is the WordAlone Network?

April 27   What are the “Lost” Books of the Bible?

May 4     How Can I Really Forgive?

May 11   How Do I Respond to Christian Zionism?

May 18   How Can I Share the Gospel in Real Life?
