- Sunday school class: December – February: The Book of Genesis Genesis has been subjected to misinterpretation ever since Christianity shed its Jewish root within 200 years after Christ and is misused for polemical purposes against scientism. The objective of this course is to rediscover its pivotal place in the Bible—as the book of origins and the foundation of our understanding of human predication and the need for salvation.
- Installation of 2024 Deacons and Congregational Committee Members.
