New Sunday Morning Bible Study on the Foundations of the Christian Faith This January our Sunday morning adult Bible study will begin a new study of the foundations of the Christian faith.During the study we will review the Lutheran church’s teaching on such subjects as the relationship and roles of Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the Scriptures/Word of God; justification/forgiveness of sins, Baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and much more.Adults who have never been confirmed may be confirmed by attending the Sunday morning sessions, completing the workbook lessons, and having a final personal meeting with the pastor for discussion and questions & answers. The book we will be using is available from CPH at cph.org or 1-800-325-3040.. It is called “That I May Know Him” by Oswald Riess. It is item #175065 and is $12.99 plus shipping.
