Thirsty Thursdays Bible Study

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving"
 ~Albert Einstein


We frequently encounter obstacles, setbacks, disappointments, rejections, and failures that drain our enthusiasm for the journey and steer us off the path.  How do we press on when the entire world seems against us?

Join us this Thursday and bring a friend as we hear a word from God about how to "Keep it Moving."

Thursday, August 6th; 7:00 p.m. -  8:30 p.m.
Ebenezer's Main Sanctuary 2nd Floor
7707 Allentown Road, Fort Washington, MD
