Refresh Woman’s Bible Study

New Series on “Personal Growth” starting January 7th @2PM at the church.  See Dondra for information.  Also Wednesday night women’s group, January 8th @7 PM See Ruth for details.

BYO Bible!-January

Have a Bible just sitting around the house not getting any use?  Looking to get a new Bible?  Calling on everyone to bring your Bible to church for the next series starting in January (now is good too!).  The church also has extra Bibles if you need one.  Digital Bibles are great tools to use but also can sometimes be a distraction.  Dust off that old print Bible and bring it on in so we can all dig into God’s Word together.

 

Zelle

The board is working on setting up Zelle to use for a digital option for giving.  Should have it up and running in January!
