Nova Class: How We Got the Bible


Have you ever wondered where the Bible came from? Who wrote the books of the Bible? Perhaps you have been asked by a friend or coworker about books that were cut out of the Bible. This class covers important questions about the Bible to show why it can be trusted. This study covers the history of the Bible from the earliest clay tablets and papyrus copies, to the first bound Bible, and the various Bible translations that we use today.



Choir
Choir is in full swing for the Fall season! Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings at Nova @ 7:00pm.
Nova's choir is a wonderful ministry, blending together voices and music for our worship services and for special events throughout the year. Whatever your level of experience, you are invited to join Nova's choir! For more information, please contact our choir director, Donna D'Amico (310-329-5262).
