Miraculous Births of the Bible - New Adult Ed. Study

Christmas automatically brings to mind the greatest of all miraculous births. The story of the virgin who conceives and bears a son, our Savior, Jesus. However, there are several other miraculous birth stories in the Bible, which act as foreshadowings of the greatest miraculous birth story of all. On Sunday morning, during the season of Advent, our Adult education class will examine and discuss four different miraculous birth stories, beginning with Abraham and Sarah on Nov. 30 and ending with Zechariah and Elizabeth on Dec. 21. In addition, two of our four discussions will be facilitated by senior DCE students from CUI. We hope you will join us each week and participate in the conversation. For additional information please contact Pastor Jonathan at jonathan.ruehs@cui.edu.
