         Topic: Sin, Forgiveness, and New Beginnings

          Patricia Lilly, Facilitator

          The Bible teaches that sin separates people from God, but through confession, repentance,

          and faith in Jesus Christ, God offers complete forgiveness, cleansing,

          and a new spiritual life, making all things new through His grace and the power
