What does the Bible mean when it says we are “in Christ” or Christ is “in us?” Join John Richardson, Executive Pastor of Discipleship, and Michael Proctor in a three-hour exploration of the Christian’s union with Christ. Through teaching, group discussion, and table exercises, participants will better understand this important doctrine and taste the full life that is available through the application of this truth. This event will take place on January 19 from 9 am - noon. The cost is $10, which includes a light breakfast .Register at efree.org/events.
