This summer (July 10) marks the 500th Anniversary of the birth of John Calvin, whose faithful life and work gave rise to the Reformed Tradition of which we Presbyterians are a part.  Our Summer Sundays Study is one way we will commemorate Calvin's 500th.
 
Limping Along the Path
Following the Word Through the Labyrinth
Sundays, June 21 – August 30
8:01-8:59 a.m.
In the Chapel

“…the splendor of the divine countenance, which even the apostle calls unapproachable, is for us like an inexplicable labyrinth unless we are conducted into it by the tread of the Word; so that it is better to limp along this path than to dash with all speed outside it.”

  -John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion i.vi.3
