I’ve been posting the Galatians material in password-protected format while I worked on how to create the material and received feedback from other members of my congregation’s adult education team. I’m leaving the teacher notes password protected for now, but anyone planning to teach the material is welcome to a password. Just contact me via email at jfguin(at)comcast(dot)net or using the Contact form.

I’ve now freed the rest of the material from password protection. There will be more to come, of course, but this covers the first month of the quarter.

A listing of all the material posted and yet to come is available at the “Galatians: Free to Live for Christ” page with a link at the top and in the Pages section to the right. Continue reading →
