Next time: “Saul Believe”/p415 (this is a review of the story studied this past fall on September 25^th, which is repeated in today’s Bible reading of Acts 21:1-16 as Paul re-tells the story of his conversion). If time allows (after selecting discussion questions from below); you may also may also want to review the stories about Paul on pages 422 & 424 - but save the story on page 430 for a later lesson.
