Winter Quarter will send out
"God's Call to the Christian Community" What does God have to say to the
community of believers - His church - today? In his Gospel, Luke shows us what
God's call is and to what god calls us. Luke sets his account of Jesus firmly in
its historic context, writing of a real person and real events. He calls all of
us to find our valued place in God's kingdom.
