Beyond the Basics (Room 102) - Eschatology is a fancy word for talk about the "end times." Does such talk frighten you -- or make you filled with anticipation? Are we in the "end times" now or must we wait for them? What are the "signs" of the "end times"? How does talk about "end times" affect our faith and our lives? Those are things that we will bediscussing this Sunday. Come join in the discussion.  Led by Pastor Beck.
