Consider
Attending A Bible Study…
Ø Tuesday Morning Bible Study is held each Tuesday morning from
6:30-7:30 AM. We are just starting a new Bible study, “Why do faithful people suffer? Job wanted to know.” So he
demanded an answer from God. His friends
thought he was crazy, but Job persisted. This study of the Book of Job is for anyone who has struggled with these
perennial questions and wants to ask God, “Why?” Start your day studying God’s Word with your fellow Christians. We welcome your presence at anytime.
Ø Mom’s Bible Study meet twice a
month on Tuesdays from 9:30 to 10:30 AM in room 129 (Fireside room). ALL
moms are welcome! Come and bring your
children.
Ø Thursday
Ladies Bible Study
ALL ladies
of the congregation are invited to attend the Thursday Ladies Bible study which
meets every Thursday morning at 9:00 AM in the conference room. If you have any questions contact Laurie E.
