What exactly is the Bible? Why are there so many translations? How do I start to understand the Bible better? If you have those kinds of questions join us for a new course, “Getting to Know the Bible.” The course is taught by our teaching pastor, Robert Gorrell. The class meets Sundays at 10:45 beginning January 25 and lasts four weeks.
