Lent Study… “No Wonder They Crucified Him” Of all the

continually ranks at the top of the list. Even those who don't
call themselves Christians regard Jesus as one of the wisest

So why did his contemporaries kill him? This six-session
course examines this question (Adapted from Christianity
Today: Christian Bible Studies)
Sessions will be held Tuesday mornings at 10:00a.m.
