In the coming weeks\, we will be jumping into both Old Testament and New Testament stories through the 52 doors opened by this insightful author. We can be found in Room 302 almost every Wednesday morning from 10-11am.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”17345″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
