In Institute this Thursday, March 21, we will discuss chapters 40-41 in our manual, Church History in the Fulness of Times. These chapters cover the years 1939-1947 in Church history, and deal largely with the events in the Church during and following World War II. Please note, there will be no institute classes on March 28 and April 4, due to spring breaks in our school districts. Below are a few study questions and links to articles relating to our study for this week. Please also note a video link after the articles, for those who are interested. See you Thursday!
