Join us for our DVD based study on

Mondays

6:30 pm– 8:00 pm

In Jesus, the One and Only, best-selling author and Bible teacher Beth Moore invites you to know Christ personally. Watch and listen as He breaks up a funeral by raising the dead, confronts conniving religious leaders of His day, teaches on a Galilean hillside, or walks on the waves and calms the storm.

Jan Woolcott will be leading this study.

The study dates are listed below.

September- 23, 30

October- 7, 14, 28

November- 4, 11, 18, 25

Our chairperson Paulette Wilson has scheduled a meeting before our Charge Conference to take care of some business we need to have done before the meeting on October 23rd with the DS as a SPRC committee. We need to do an evaluation of the pastor, discuss other staff and salaries, and take care of any forms required. Your attendance at this meeting is strongly encouraged, as we want the broadest input possible.
