NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS WILL BEGIN ON APRIL 11

Please read the April New Sense and future church bulletins for details about this new class.  Even though we have three excellent adult Sunday School  classes at this time, we will be giving an additional choice.  Try  attending a Sunday school class, at least once, to see if your spiritual life is enriched as a result.


THERE IS NO PLACE IN JOHNSON  CITY WHERE YOUR PRESENCE WILL BE MORE WELCOMED THAN SUNDAY SCHOOL AT OUR SAVIOUR LUTHERAN CHURCH!

THE WOMEN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS

• is beginning a new Bible study.  Breaking Free: Making Liberty in Christ a Reality in Life by Beth Moore, leads you through a study of the Scriptures to discover the transforming power of Christian freedom. Based on Isaiah 61:1-4, this in-depth study draws parallels between the captive Israelites and today's believers.
