DYING AND RISING WITH CHRIST
ADULT BIBLE CLASS DURING LENT - SUNDAYS, 9:00 AM
Whether we are 25 or 90 or somewhere in between, with kids or without kids, we all have preferences with regard to healthcare, death and dying, distribution of possessions and funeral services that are best planned ahead of time and thought about in the context of our Christian faith. This series is designed to help us do all of this. Even if you have already taken care of some of these issues, perhaps this is an opportunity to make sure your wishes have been communicated with loved ones and the church. There will be a form available to fill out indicating preferences and plans.
