Do you want a closer relationship with God? The Friday morning women's Bible study is meeting both on Zoom and in-person on Friday mornings at 9:30 am.
Life in the Presence of God: Practices for Living in the Light of Eternity by Kenneth Boa is helping us learn to cultivate a greater awareness of God in our everyday living using biblical foundations, living and historical examples, and evidence from neuroscience. We can walk and abide in God's presence by rethinking how we use our time and technology to make room for God through practical exercises and disciplines that will help us draw close to God.
For further details, please sign up at the Get Connected table.

Women's Ministry Christmas Brunch |
|
Ladies gathered for food, fun, and fellowship at the Women's Ministry Christmas Brunch on December 4th at Kathleen Chandler's home. We made paper snowflakes, sang Christmas carols, and exchanged ornaments. Kathleen presented a devotional on Advent and on delighting in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ instead of in what the world offers. We had such a great time meeting new ladies, visiting with each other, and sharing Christmas traditions!
If you are interested in future Women's Ministry events and are not on their contact list, you can email Judy Cale and she will help you get connected.
