@ 9 AM

TELL ME ABOUT CAMINO PILGRIMAGE

Sunday, June 8 | 9 am | Chapel Library 14 pilgrims from Pinnacle recently hiked the Camino de Santigo in Portugal and Spain. Join Dr. Mike Hegeman and the pilgrims to hear their experiences and stories.

DEMONS, DRAGONS, & the DEVIL: DIABOLICAL BEINGS of the BIBLE with Dr. Mike Hegeman Sundays, June 15, 22, 29 | 9 am | Chapel Library In the Bible, demons are spiritual beings opposed to God, often associated with Satan and evil forces.
