Pastor’s Bible Study- Join us on Wednesdays at 11 am in Soderlund Hall. We are doing a series called “Experiencing God” that explores the way God has encountered and called people throughout the history of the Bible. And, it is HYBRID! Contact Pastor Kristian for the zoom link or with any questions at:  kristian.johnson@livinglordlutheran.org

Adult Bible Study-  Adult Bible Study takes place Sunday mornings at 9 am and will begin on September 28. We'll be looking at the letter from James, which is the book that Martin Luther did not want included in the Bible. James talks about patience and wisdom (need any of those things?) and controlling the tongue! We'll be using a study guide by N.T. Wright, but our main source is the Bible. Join us on Sundays at 9 am starting September 28, for lively discussion. We meet in the conference room across from the kitchen. Any questions, contact Joyce Stahl at sailingjoy@comcast.com.
