Adult Bible Studies - Thursday night Bible study runs from 5:45-6:45 p.m. We currently are studying the gospel of John, based on the Good News Bible translation
Bible Information Class - Have you ever wished that you could review the various teachings of the Bible? This class is excellent for doing just that. It gives those who attend a basis overview of the Bible and why First Ev. Lutheran Church teaches as it does. There is no cost or obligation. Those outside our church who finish the course have the option of becoming a member of First Lutheran at that time. These classes are held at various times during the week, depending on the schedule of those interested. Give Pastor Grunewald a call at 723-3253. He would be happy to tell you more.
