How Did We Get Our Sacred Scripture? New Adult Study Begins This Sunday at 11:00
On Sunday, August 18th, we’ll embark upon a study led by our very own member Karla Grant, who has taught Bible Studies at HPPC for many years.
Session 1: What IS the Bible? In the beginning was the Word. John 1:1
Session 2: The Law, the Prophets and the Writings.
Session 3: How Did We Get the New Testament?
Session 4: How Did the New Testament Books Become the Official Canon? How did Christians differ from each other and the Jews about the official Old Testament Canon?
Session 5: How Reliable Are the Copies of Scriptures? How do we interpret Scripture that seems to contradict itself?
Session 6: Remember the DaVinci Codes? Heresies, Cults and Proto-Gospels and other mistaken concepts.
Join us for this deep dive into how the Bible came to be … in the Conference Room each Sunday immediately following worship.

“Taste and see that the Lord is good”
Pastor John Hougen brought the passage from Psalm 34:1-2,8 to life during the Children’s Time last Sunday. They tasted each color and then voted on their favorite.
I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Taste and see that the Lord is good’ blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
