February The Life and Writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Starting on Feb 2 we will have a four-session video-based Bible study by Eric Metaxas. Please join us and discover the major themes of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s writing and speaking and how he not only helped transform an entire faith community in Germany during World War II, but how his beliefs continue to impact the Christian faith of people throughout the world today. Facilitated by Herb Honaker, John Lynch and Mark Pascucci. (Room 260) 11:00 Sunday Equipping Class 1 Corinthians Bible Study (cont.) Conversion to Christ doesn’t automatically guarantee impeccable manners and suitable morals. This was demonstrated by the believers at the Corinthian church, who struggled with factions, immorality, and wrong motives in worship. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians addresses all these issues in an affectionate but firm response reminding them to devote their hearts to Christ alone. Facilitated by Matt Brooks & John Munday.
