Upcoming Lessons
August 17, 2010
We will begin the new season in September with narratives through Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and the exodus, with lessons on Christ’s first coming in December, and we will work to plan that our exodus studies arrive at the passover by easter, when we will focus on our Lord’s work of laying down His life, and again, Him risen and ascended. Perhaps this year we will also teach and discuss our joy and hope unto His second coming.
Our psalm singing will use the newer / revised versions for the Genevan Psalter.
