PW: The Gospel of John Bible Study (Final Round)

We are studying the Gospel of John in 7 parts, looking at 3 chapters per study. I've got to teach at VBS next month, as well as going on vacation the week before, so I have decided to merge parts 6 and 7 into one swap. I've extended the amount of time between sign up and send date to account for this.

You will read the John 16-21 and then answer the questions below. Send your answers to your partner (via snail mail).
