WE AGAIN WELCOME Pastor Aaron Walters of The Table Church in Bellingham. Next Sunday we will be led by Pastor James Ogle, Chaplain at Lynden Christian School.   


ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL 6 WEEK STUDY: “Reconciled: A Biblical Approach to Racial Unity.” This fall Elaine is going to lead a 6-week study for adults or interested teens that searches Scripture for answers on how to address struggles related to ethnic disunity in the world and in the church. The curriculum is supplied by the Center for Biblical Unity. Here is the website and source: Reconciled: Small Group Curriculum | CFBU (centerforbiblicalunity.com), if you are curious about the topic and wondering if this study might be something for you to join. Class specifics will depend a little on the wishes of those who sign up, but it will be Sunday evening sessions, due to Elaine’s availability; 5:00 pm seems likely. Targeted dates are: Sept 12, 19; Oct 3, 10, 17, 26. If it takes more than 6 weeks, we’ll add more time. (If another group wishes to participate but desires the Sunday School hour before 10:00 am worship, perhaps there can be a second offering of the same study with a different facilitator.) You may sign up on the library table or contact Elaine directly.
