Editor's Note

Five Lodi churches are teaming up for a 31-week lesson on the Bible. The series, which began Sept. 9, is held each Sunday at First Baptist Church, Temple Baptist Church, Emanuel Lutheran Church, Vinewood Community Church and Ham Lane Church of Christ. The series, called "The Story," will cover the Earth's beginning in Genesis to Christ's return in Revelation — and everything in between.
