 ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
ADULT DISCUSSION GROUP:  Join Ron at 9:15 a.m. Sunday mornings for great discussion and mind stimulating conversation with the DVD study guide!
 “Eclipsing Empire: Paul, Rome, and theingdom of God”
Join the discussion as we are led by New Testament Scholars Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan on location as they trace the Apostle Paul’s footsteps throughout the Roman Empire. This multi-session DVD and web-based study explores fresh insights into Paul’s message of the Kingdom of God, its challenge to Roman imperial theology, and the apostle’s relevance for today. Filmed in beautiful Hi-Definition across Turkey, Greece and Italy.
