Life In The Church: Teaching and Signs
In this series, we are asking: "Why do we do what we do?" Many of us have grown up in the church, and we inherited some traditions and practices from our parents or grandparents, and it is something we have always done. For others, we could be new in our walk with the Lord, or perhaps we have not thought about it much. Are these practices important? What is the significance of the practices we participate in together as a community? Links: series: working together:
