Forum begins new Bible Study this Saturday, May 8
"Acts: Catching Up with the Spirit"
Saturdays at 10 AM in May & June 
Join us for a 6-week Bible study of the Book of Acts, also known as Acts of the Apostles. This book tells the story of God's grace flooding out into the world after Jesus' ascension. The Bible itself is our textbook, and sessions will feature a video series by Professor Matthew Skinner of Luther Seminary. Here's a link to the class schedule. What can you do to prepare? Grab a Bible and read through the Acts of the Apostles to get a feel for this adventurous book. Join us Saturdays, 10-11 AM, via this Zoom link. For May 8, read through the book of Acts with special attention to Acts 1:1-11, 2:1-36, 3:11-26 & 17:16-34.
