Wednesday, June 30th 9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. at the Spiritual Life Tent Life is full of hard questions. You are probably asking some right now as you read this, especially after this last year! What separates people from one another is not the questions we ask, but where we find the answers. Explore the “I AM” statements of Jesus in the New Testament Gospel of John and see how God used them, in both the Old and New Testaments, to point us to the answers we need today. Each week we’ll look at a self-contained I AM statement so it will be an easy class to attend only once or... all summer! Copies of Echoes of I AM: Life’s Big Questions Answered In God’s Great Name are available in the Spiritual Life

Center for $10 (but not required to attend the class).

Esther Baird is the author of the book and will lead this seminar.
