A NEW CAMPUS AND THE BIRTH OF SASS
▲ I created a series of
collages out of old bible
study notes. We received
these every week.
I kept some of them.
The vegetables are there

the saviour of the body. Therefore, as the church
is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their
own husbands in everything. Let your women keep
