About This Group
If you are aged 21 to 40, you are invited to come on Saturday mornings to a doctrinal class led by Rev. Kurt Asplundh. We will be working through The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Doctrine and approaching the text as Divine Revelation from the Lord. The goal is to have a chance to discuss doctrine and application and have a good time with other young adults who have a desire to learn from the Lord and follow Him.
[The doctrine in this book] is for the New Church, and is called Heavenly Doctrine, because it was revealed to me out of heaven; to deliver this doctrine is the design of the present book. (NJHD 7)
Timing & Location
We will meet weekly for approximately an hour, starting at 10am. Come for coffee, refreshments, and socializing beforehand.
We will meet in the Church Office. We may meet in people's living rooms in the future but on February 15th we will meet in the church office
