This was one of our parish&#8217;s favorite years. While the focus is on Luke\u2019s gospel, we also covered the other two synoptic gospels a little too. During this year, our primary focus was on learning to read icons in relation to the synoptic gospels. We also learned about where several of these events occured on a map and developed many connections between the gospels and our lives as Orthodox Christians.<\/p>\n<p>Good strength for your coming year!<\/p>\n<div>Jennifer Hock<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.8&#8243; min_height=&#8221;58.5px&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.8&#8243;][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#471f00&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.8&#8243;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.8&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.8&#8243;][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Fr.
