10:30 Worship Service - Presentation of the Bible Studying scripture is one of the most important ways we learn about God. On Sunday, September 15 at the 10:30 worship service , we will present personal Bibles to each third grade student as a statement of their growing faith development and as recognition of their being old enough to study Scripture on their own. It is our prayer that this gift will be a starting point for a deeper relationship with God through Christ. If your child would like to receive their personalized Bible, contact Pam Hegedus no later than August 18 with their full name.
