RETURN TO ME
Return to Me! A new book by Claude King is an opportunity to ignite a spiritual awakening in our area! I have limited copies of this book being shipped to our Association of Churches for our Pastor’s and staff. Contact our office today or email Selina at snichols@stonemountainbaptistassociation.org to reserve a copy for yourself if you are truly interested in leading this type of effort in your church. I would like as many churches as possible to call the people of God to return to Him!
