Bible Reading Plan

April 2008

Rev. John Goris 

During this month we want to engage in some deep heart-searching on the significance of the resurrection of Jesus. Of course, we do not doubt this milestone event in the history of this world.  It reverses the consequences of the Fall, even though we still live in a fallen world.  How do Christians and how does the Church express its faith in the reality of the resurrection?
