On Wednesday, October 7, the Rev. Kent Palmquist, an ordained minister of the Evangelical Covenant Church and a regular attender at First Pres, will start a series of classes on the Parables of Jesus. The class will look at a sampling of the forty-plus parables in the Bible, notice the various types, and explore how and why Jesus used such stories as his primary teaching tool. All are welcome. Come to as many classes as you can!
