Announcing Vacation Bible Study...for adults! (Childcare provided.)
This summer, while most of the weekly study and prayer groups are on hiatus, we're trying something new! For 4 Thursdays (June 15, 22, 29 and July
6), we'll gather in the McClain Room from 9:30-11:00 for bible study. Our theme? Sabbath-keeping: what does (and doesn't) Sabbath mean? What does scripture say about it? How do we honor God in it, and how does God honor us?
All are welcome. Come when you can. No advance preparation required. The church nursery will be open and staffed starting at 9AM....parents of little ones need bible
study too! Questions? Email
Nadia.
