Lent 2009 – The Heart of Our Life Together: These Sacred Texts
The Christian life is shaped by a deep engagement with the stories and texts of the Bible. We are people of the book, molded and directed by words and texts passed down hand to hand, story teller to story teller, parent to child, teacher to student, through the centuries. This program studies the four Gospels—the heart of our life together.
