Across the Table
Join us for a free all-church women’s event the second Tuesday of each summer month: June 11, July 9, and August 13, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM in the fellowship hall. It is for women of all ages, and you may attend any one or all of the evenings. We will have a potluck meal, but only half of you need to bring food – so you can choose to cook or choose to stay and help clean up afterwards. We will combine dinner, laughter, a devotional study, and a mission project all into one amazing evening! Our first event will feature Sharing Hope Ministry and speaker Margaret Willis, who will share how God turned a two-year prison sentence into a life of freedom. Complementary tickets are available at the information desk before and after worship services, or in the church office during the week. Bring a friend and enjoy a fun get-together!
