Lord willing, this Sunday evening at the third Interest Meeting for Grace Church, Nathan Sawyer will walk us through our Affirmation. The 15 Articles are:
- The Word of God
- God
- Jesus Christ
- The Holy Spirit
- The Trinity
- Providence
- The Fall of Humanity
- Regeneration
- Repentance And Faith
- Salvation
- Christian Conduct
- The Church
- The Ordinances
- The Last Things
- Christian Cooperation

will you be posting a copy of Grace church's Affirmation of Faith for public reading?
I was thinking I will begin yet another new series on SC dealing with our MAF. I'm thinking I will do one Article at a time and encourage people to interact with it...eventually posting all 15.
