(All classes are on Sundays in church Fellowship Hall at 12:30pm)
Ever want to tell a story—I mean a really good story that will touch a reader’s soul? Jesus spoke in parables to people who were tired of religiosity. The people he spoke to had built walls to block out religion, so Jesus told them stories with God-centered truths that went around the walls. This group seeks to develop our fiction writing skills so we can deliver the gospel to people numb to religion.
