Summer Adult Bible Study
Begins Wednesday, June 12, 11:00 a.m., Social Hall
Tommy Sanders will lead us in a summer adult Bible study entitled Living Faithfully: A Study in James. It is important to know and understand what we believe regarding our faith, but it should be a living faith. Our daily lives should be a reflection of our faith. This study of the book of James provides insights to spiritual maturity regardless of the season of life we may be experiencing. The Bible study begins on Wednesday, June 12 and will continue on June 19 and 26, and July 10, 17, 24, and 31. We will meet in the Social Hall at 11:00 a.m., and an optional lunch will follow in the Fellowship Hall. No reservation is needed.
