The word means “Large. Monumental. Heroic. Classic.” Our focus for the next two months will be to get a better handle on the 66 books that make up the Bible. 66 books written by dozens of human authors over 100’s of years...but the whole thing tells a single story. And that story can be summed up with 1 word. Today, we look for that word starting in Genesis 3. For your convenience, nursery care is provided for children under the age of three and Kid’s Church is available for all children age 3 to kindergarten after being dismissed during the worship service. th Children 3 yrs of age through 5 Grade: Gospel Project in the Depot SUNDAY SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES Jr. & Sr. High: “Matthew” Women growing in faith: “The testing of your faith” by Bruce Wilkerson in Room 17 Seekers: “For me to live is Christ” – “Philippians” by Matt Chandler in the Java Rm.
