WOMEN’S SUMMER BIBLE STUDIES

One of the most important things we can learn from examples of prayer in God’s Word is why we pray. Join us this summer for our women’s Bible studies as we take a look at the “why” of prayer. We will be beginning our Monday studies on June 3 at 3:00 PM in the church Conference Room. Wednesday studies will begin on June 5 at 9:00 AM in the Church Parlor, and on Wednesday night from 6:00 – 7:30 PM at the home of Lea Anne Parker. Friday's study will begin on June 7 at 1:00 PM at the home of Judy Bates. Study books are available in the Parlor for a cost of $10.00. If you have any questions, contact Amy MacCaughelty (amy.cmac6@gmail.com). More information on dates, times, locations, and study books can be found on our church website, HERE.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
