John Calvin @ 500

crowdeddesert — Thu, 07 May 2009 15:55:50 +0000

A. D. 2009 marks the 500^th anniversary of the year of John Calvin’s birth. Not only is our church in the Calvinist tradition, but our country and culture have also been influenced heavily by Calvin’s legacy. Many Christians reference Calvin as an authority in conversation and preaching, while others utter his name with disdain. Who was this guy who still causes such strong responses after half a millenium? Whether you’re a fan, a foe, or unfamiliar with Calvin, come find out more about his life, teaching, and legacy.

Session #1: Who? Wednesday, May 20 @ 7:30 pm

Session #2: What? Wednesday, May 27 @ 7:30 pm

Session #3: So What? Wednesday, June 3 @ 7:30 pm

The legacy of Calvin and how it (surprisingly) affects our lives today.
