Night Live SPRING EDITION
-
Join us for a special Spring
Edition of WNL as we look at
two great modern heroes of
the faith: Dietrich
Bonhoeffer and William
Wilberforce. Bonhoeffer, a
pastor and theologian, led
the "Confessing Church" that
was actively opposed the
Third Reich. We'll read a
smattering of what he had to
say about God's grace and
life in Christian community.
Wilberforce fought against
slavery in Britain and their
colonies for 50 years. We'll
base the study on the movie
Amazing Grace about his
life. Come join us as we
look to these great men for
guidance in our own
Christian lives. Wednesdays,
March 26-May 21, Great Hall,
6:00 pm dinner, 6:45-8:00 pm
