Scripture Aloud: 1 & 2 Timothy
Sunday, July 18, 1:00, Sanctuary

The apostle Paul wrote at least two letters to his disciple, the young church pastor, Timothy, to encourage and teach him about his  leadership role within the church. Today, we can still learn basic truths of our faith, study instructions for leadership, and fine tune our  character by reading 1 & 2 Timothy. Most importantly, the  presence and power of the Holy Spirit is present during the reading of the Word of God. Next Sunday, take time to experience Scripture Aloud.
