Bible 101 taught at Crown Point Library

CROWN POINT – Bible 101, a historical and practical perspective of the Holy Bible, will be taught at the Crown Point Library, 122 North Main Street, starting Tuesday, March 5. Led by the Rev. David Kipp, associate pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church and School, the six week course runs from 9:30 AM to 12 Noon.

After the Trinity pastor learned that 80 percent of the people who own Bibles do not read or understand the world's largest selling book, Kipp, who also teaches a similar class for adults at Merrillville High School, has ventured out to give those owners a clearer understanding of scriptures. For reservations at no charge and information, call Kipp at 219-663-1578.
