Pastor Richard Strait invites Gethsemane congregants to join the Sunday Adult Class in the Steffans Parlor, 9:30 a.m. to explore “Half-Truths”. They are simple phrases. They sound Christian-like something you might find in the Bible. We have all heard these words. Maybe we have said them. They express some element of truth, yet they miss the point in important ways. This five week Bible study invites class participants to search for the whole truth by comparing clichés with the wisdom of the Bible. Some of these statements: “Everything happens for a reason, God helps those who help themselves, God won’t give you more than you can handle, God said it, I believe it, that settles it, Love the sinner, hate the sin”. There will be interesting conversation as the class looks as these clichés in the light of the Gospel.
