Wednesday L.I.F.E. Night Women's Bible Study

PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE

“In a trembling, unsteady world, how do you gain stability, find peace, and learn to trust God!”

For answers to these questions and more, come to the church in the Fellowship Hall in a classroom on L.I.F.E. Night Wednesdays from 6:50 P.M. until 7:45 P.M. for the video Bible study, “Unshakable Hope” by Max Lucado.  The stories of men and women in the Bible were different, but the theme was the same: they were People of the Promise.  Like them, we can also build our lives on God’s promises, and trust Him to keep them.  

A study guide will also be available for personal study and reflection, video notes, and group discussion.  The first session will be Wednesday, August 31st at 6:50 P.M.

To register for this Bible study, email Susie Pinquoch at spinquoch@gpcom.net or call (402) 426-8182.

Church Office Closed for Labor Day
