New CLT Class: The First 150 Years After the Apostles
Sundays through August 23
9:00 am - 10:00 am
Glenbard West
Find out what the first successors of the apostles had to say to the Church of their day. We will be looking at a number of primary documents from 100 AD- 250 AD and discussing what these early church fathers thought about Scripture, the unity of the Church, the Lord's Prayer, the story of salvation through Jesus alone and the faithful witness of the martyrs. If you missed some of the earlier sessions, you can still pick up copies of the previous documents at the CLT class. Barbara and Stephen Gauthier and Andrew Merrick will lead the discussions.
