new bible study: creed and deed
Starting Tuesday, October 1st, Word of Life will be posting a weekly Bible Study entitled, "Creed and Deed," a look at how our confession of faith influences our actions. The role of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) as well as the nature of the Church will be a central focus of this study. If you've wanted to know more about what we believe as Christians or you'd like to go more in-depth in understanding the impact of the Trinitarian nature of God on our daily lives, check out our Facebook or YouTube pages in the early afternoon each Tuesday in October.
