What's Happening
LIVING FAITHFULLY: A STUDY IN JAMES
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 also 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 study meets on Wednesdays, June 12, 19, 26, and July 10, 17, 24, 31. An optional lunch will follow in the Fellowship Hall.
No reservation is needed.
