Sunday Bible Study
The Bible is an amazing library of books filled with the wisdom and truth from God Himself. Written by a variety of different authors, the various books of the Bible express not only God's Word but the personalities of our Lord's human partners. Join us on Sunday at 10:30 AM in the Fireside Room.

Thanks for the Help!
With the help of a few folks, we replaced the sand in the preschool playard, last weekend! Thank you to those who came out and helped beautify the space for our little ones. The preschool now has a new lawn and a new sandbox! Special thanks to Randy Hall for coordinating the projects.

Women's Study on Galatians
Paul's letter to the Galatians exhorted believers to stand firm in the truth, stay bold in love, and walk by the Spirit. Paul also reminded them what it looked like to live for God’s approval rather than human approval. These words are as needed today as they were then. This Beth Moore study begins on Friday, September 13, and will be finished in early December. If you'd like to join us, please email Beth Young or call her at 925.344.1011 to reserve a workbook ($21).
