Are you blind to the things that are closest to your heart? Do you know the treasure that is already hidden in your heart? Are you aware of the riches that are already yours? Women of Faith, do you long for intimacy with God? You just may be surprised what these pages reveal.
7. Men’s Wednesday Night Bible Study- All men of the church are invited to participate in a Wednesday evening Bible study at 7:30 pm in the fellowship hall. This is a unique opportunity for men to get together in fellowship and participate in structured Bible study programs that are based on scripture. We focus on issues men deal with as church and family leaders, as well as becoming better men in society. The program is designed so all can come and contribute on any week. Contact Sam Barnum for more details. All men are welcome! Come and join us.
