Opportunities & Special Events
New Wednesday Night Ladies Bible Study Ladies, come out this Wednesday at 6:30pm as we learn through Kelly Minter’s “What Love Is” Bible study through 1, 2, & 3 John. This study encourages you to remain faithful to the truth. You will be challenged to look at contrasting themes such as walking in the light instead of darkness, truth versus lies and deception, loving God more than loving the world, and the meaning of true fellowship and community rather than shallowness. Contact Misty Hunt for questions. Children’s Bible study classes will be provided during that same time.
Pastor Ben will be holding a New Members class directly after the service on January 18th. Lunch will be provided along with childcare during the class. Please see the sign-up sheet at the
Welcome Center. See Pastor Ben if you have questions.
Reading the Bible Out loud We are wanting to promote & honor God’s Word by reading through it out loud. There will be a podium and a Bible in the sanctuary to read from. Write down on a post-it note where you’ve stopped reading in order for the
next person to start where you’ve left off. Please see the sign-up sheets on the little round table in the foyer.
