Wonderful Wednesday Night
Bible Study Class (WWNBSC) will resume
meeting September 1st at 6:00 pm in the Conference Room. We will be focusing on short studies starting
with Max Lucado’s book ~ “Facing
Your Giants.” You know your
“Goliath.” You recognize his walk, the
thunder of his voice. He taunts you with
bills you can’t pay, people you can’t please, habits you can’t break, failures
you can’t forget, and a future you can’t face.
Just like David, YOU CAN FACE YOUR GIANTS! Come and join us for this exciting
study. Please call the Church Office
(527-5483) or Sherry Mansell
(625-7801) to register.
