Our September Suppers series starts this Sunday evening! All are welcome to come and enjoy a meal before participating in an intergenerational bible study about the book of James. The children will have their own fun, music, and learning while the Adults and Youth study scripture together.
This gathering will take place every Sunday evening through the month of September from 5-6:30 pm. Come and enjoy this unique opportunity to fellowship with our church family, enjoy a delicious meal, and learn together from scripture and one another.
This Sunday's meal is a simple potluck, so please come with your favorite dish to share! All are encouraged to read James chapter 1 which will be the topic of the Bible study.
