“You can’t trust what the Bible says—it’s been changed too much over the years!”
Do people ever ask you tough questions about your faith? Do you ever have questions of your own? How do you handle them? A new Bible study series, entitled “So Many Questions”, which looks at 13 common teasers and how to deal with them, will start at 7.30 pm on Wednesday 19th July at the Lucases’. New faces are always welcome! If you’d like to join us for this series please let Trevor know soon as he needs to order study books.
