This Sunday, May 1 is the sixth Sunday in Easter. Our guest preacher will be Dr. Patricia Dutcher-Walls, professor of Hebrew Bible and dean of studies at VST. During coffee hour, Pat will lead a freewheeling "What you always wanted to know about the Old Testament but were afraid to ask" discussion.
