  • The La Crete Bible School will be offering the course on the book of Colossians from December 4-8 at the Countryside Community Church. The book of Colossians is an important look into the mystery of Christ, which was hidden for generations and now disclosed to the saints

(Colossians 1:26). This letter is a glorious reminder of everything Christ did for us in conquering sin and death. It shows His supremacy over all things, explaining what our Godly response should be. This course will be taught by Rob Dyck.
