FELLOWSHIP IN THE WORD

There are only 3 Saturday mornings left where we will meet from 9:30-11 AM at church! We take time to personally read a Bible passage, discuss what we learned about God and how we can apply it to our lives. These Saturdays are stand-alone studies and do not require any homework. Hope you can make it!
Plan to join us at the Second Sunday Summer Social on August 9 @ 4 PM!
We will have a variety of outside games for everyone, a splash pad for the little ones, and the parking lot will be blocked off for kids to ride their bikes/scooters. Water and lemonade will be provided!
Please bring: 
  • Your own chair.
  • A favorite dessert bar to share if you're able. Please pre-cut the bars.
