Many people feel they are less than who God says they are. We get our identity from our careers, our political positions, our roles in the family, and a number of other lesser things. However, what is most true about us is that we are made by a God who loves us, and the Gospel can bring us into a relationship with Him. When we understand who God is, we more fully understand who we are. The cost of the book is $8.99 and the class is 5 weeks. All are welcome. This class begins Sunday, September 8 at 6 p.m.
