Young Families Group will meet this Saturday
Young Families Group and the Young at Heart will meet Saturday, March 23 at 5:30 PM for a potluck (bring a dish or two to pass) and discussion-based study at David and Anna Garber’s home. After supper, the children will be excused to enjoy some organized playtime. We are continuing John Kleinig’s book “Wonderfully Made: A Protestant Theology of the Body.” In this book study we hope to dig into the deep mystery of our bodies, who made them, why they matter, and what they were made for. We will consider, along the way, how many (if not most) of the issues facing our modern Western culture are over the purpose, use, and importance of the body. We will learn to see our bodies how God sees them. Please contact the church office for details and to RSVP.

Bible Study at Mount Calvary This Week
Mount Calvary Adult Bible Class, Daniel 2:25 & following -Having forgotten an important dream he had in the middle of the night, the despot Nebuchadnezzar demands that his wise men tell him the dream he doesn’t remember or be killed. God reveals the dream to Daniel, who speaks both it to the king and its interpretation. The dream speaks hopes to the captives in Babylon, and to us, as we consider the kingdom that is a Rock, that dashes all other kingdoms into pieces.
