SUMMARY:Adult SS: Ten Commandments Series Begins
DESCRIPTION:The Ten Commandments\nSept. 14 – Oct. 19\nTaught by: Christopher Miller \nJoin us for our first study of the year. Through our Ten Commandments study\, we’ll consider the importance of a Law in becoming a “People.” We will do this by taking a look at the most-well known Laws in the Bible to see what kind of people God wants His People to be. Each commandment shows the way that God wants His People to relate to Himself\, to each other\, and to the World to establish them as a People.
