New Sunday School Class
Exploring C.S. Lewis’ classic “Mere Christianity”
Everyone is invited Sunday mornings at 9:30 upstairs in the Cooper House for a new Sunday School class based on C.S. Lewis’ classic apologetic book, Mere Christianity. First presented as a series of weekly radio speeches on the BBC in the midst of WWII as bombs were falling on London, Mere Christianity served as a public defense of God to what was quickly becoming a post-Christian United Kingdom. Join us as we explore what it means to be a follower of Jesus, and how we can share that faith with our neighbors, co-workers, and friends.
