Classes will be offered for Christian adults this fall at Zion Lutheran Church in St. Ignace.

The Three Lakes Lay Academy, a cooperative Lutheran and Presbyterian ministry, will host two new classes for Christian adults seeking to deepen their faith and knowledge of the Bible and the church. Classes will be Thursday nights from September 11 through November 13 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Each class is 1.5 hours in length and will include a meal and devotions between the classes. Courses are $10 each plus the cost of the book. Scholarships are available.

The first class, entitled "An Introduction to Theology," will explore the building blocks of theological language, and influential figures in Christianity.

The second class, "An Introduction to the Bible," will be an overview that seeks to explore the historical and literary contexts.

A free will offering will be collected for the fellowship meal.

Pre register at stahar950@sbc global.net before Monday, September 1, to ensure a book at the first class. Participants may also register at the door.
