The Secret Message of Jesus

Secretmessage The Exploring Christian Faith class came to a close yesterday we made final arrangements for our Easter Baptism Celebration. This Sabbath seven of the class members will be baptized. Please join us for this exciting celebration. If you want to get in on the next go around, please email me or call my office (323.462.0010). We will be having another baptism around Christmastime.

In the meantime two more things will happen in our journey: the Thursday night Exploring Christian Faith class will continue to meet bi-weekly and take a three or four week look into Seventh-day Adventist history. We'll be using a book called A Brief History of Seventh-day Adventists, by George Knight. If you want to join us, pick up a copy of this book and stay tuned for the new schedule. We'll most likely start on May 4.

Finally, on Saturday, April 22, my 9:30 am class (which I'm  now calling, The Journey) will begin a  new study called The Secret Message of Jesus. This class will follow the outline of a new book by the same title by my friend, Brian McLaren. Please pick up this book and join us at 9:30 am on Saturday mornings at the church for a exciting and challenge look at the teachings of Jesus.

Book on Sabbath

Sabbath_heschel This past Thursday I mentioned a classic book called, simply, Sabbath, by Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. I've added that book to our book list at the left in addtion to two other excellent books on the Sabbath. Whether you've been keeping Sabbath all your life or it's a totally new practice for you, I think you will find these books to be tremendously helpful.
