Fall Video Series
Origins and Foundations of our Christian Religion

An excellent series of 30 minute videos each Sunday, along with 30 minutes of discussion and interpretation. This is a most fruitful series, which will enable us to grow in faith. We will gain a better understanding of what early forces shaped who we were in our early history and who we are today.
