The God of Yesterday, Today, and Forever

This summer we are going to get to know the family better.  This is the family that God has created and knit together.  Our Father is the God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  He brings his children together in the Jesus Christ, and binds us in one faith through the Holy Spirit. 

We're using a great book to help us get to know the family, "One Hundred Bible Stories," which we have many copies.  We'll be taking a different family story each week from the Scriptures in order to know the family better and to know our Father better. 

This will be a great time to jump in as a family and learn the Scriptures while the Lord grows us in faith.
