Evil and Hope: The Book of
Revelation
Apocalypse, in Greek, means disclosure or revelation. But what does the
last book of the New Testament really uncover?

The
Apocalypse of St. John, better known as the Book of Revelation,
“discloses dimensions of two age-old mysteries: the character
of evil and the nature of hope,” says Craig Koester, a New
Testament scholar at Luther Seminary in St. Paul and author of several
articles and books on Revelation.
Koester will lead sessions on Revelation via DVD for Jehovah Lutheran
Church’s adult Bible class at 9:30 a.m. Sundays beginning
April 15 and continuing into the summer. The sessions in the church
library are free and open to all, with coffee and snacks provided. The
church is at 1566 Thomas Ave.

or 612-227-1024.
Women’s Bible Study
on Alternate Wednesdays

A
women’s Bible study continues on alternate Wednesdays through
May 23rd. The Bible study is based on author
Beth Moore’s book
“James: Mercy Triumphs”
.
The group meets
from 6:30 to 8:30 in the lounge to discuss the video
teachings and homework, and spend time in prayer. During the season of
Lent (2/29- 3/14- 3/28),
the group will meet following Evening Prayer at 7:00.
James,
Jesus’ own brother, started out as a skeptic. See how one
glimpse of the
resurrected Savior turned an unbeliever into a disciple with this
8-session study.
And in the process, learn how to put your faith into action.
More information is available from the church office at 651-644-1421 or

All are welcome. Jehovah Lutheran is in St. Paul at Thomas and Snelling.

SANCTUARY GORGEOUS FOR MEKANE
YESUS WEDDING
More than 350 filled the Jehovah Lutheran sanctuary July
9 for the wedding of Andenet Zelalem and Samuel Francis, the son of
Pastor Francis Stephanos of Mekane Yesus.
The bride works as a nurse. The groom is music director at Mekane Yesus
and at a Nigerian congregation in north Minneapolis and is studying IT.
Pastor Stephanos performed the ceremony in the Jehovah Lutheran
sanctuary — decorated in white drapery and rose petals for
the occasion by families and friends of the bride and groom.
Mekane Yesus, our sister Ethiopian congregation, shares our space.
Jehovah Lutheran’s
beautiful sanctuary looked especially gorgeous
after being dressed up for a big Ethiopian wedding July 9.
