topic: Is God Fair? part 1.
●The Gospel of Mark “Actions speak louder than
words.” This seems to be the motto Mark

that we can learn how to live for God and die to self. Lou Bertolini is the instructor. Class meets

optional!), a machine that can remove the equivalent of two units of blood in
one sitting. That gives them twice as

for four months!).
