Annual Bible Institute on June 23-

ples of all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit...” (Mat

and several other Gospel passages as
well as their precedents in earlier
Biblical books in order to come to a
greater appreciation of the Mystery of
the Trinity—the incomprehensible
Mystery of God’s life as revealed in
creation, in God’s words and deeds;
in the life, death and resurrection of
Jesus; and in the promise of the
Spirit’s abiding presence and action—
calling all to share in God’s own life
of love. The program begins with reg

Friday and concludes with dinner at
noon on Sunday.
