One Another:
The New Testament Prescription for Transformation
In this series we are reminded that we are the “one another religion” as we are guided through the images of the church that remind us that we are “in this together” – a family, a temple of living stones, called “the body of Christ.” We will discover how each image reinforces our connections with and our obligation to one another and we seek to be all that our God is calling us to be.
Study books are available in the church office for $10.
