The Wednesday night ladies bible study will begin a new 5 week class on January 6. We will be studying Priscilla Shirer's book, Breathe: Making Room for Sabbath. This study will help women learn to cease from activities and busyness and build margin into your life for God. It's a great way to prepare for Lent. For more information, email Tammy Borders or call 229-560-5889. Books are $9.99 + tax and will be distributed by Christmas or they can be purchased at Lifeway. |
A Cursillo weekend will be held at Honey Creek February 25-28. Several of our own church members will be participating. Cursillo's mission is equipping Christians for leadership and service to change the world for Christ. Won't you prayerfully consider joining us? For details contact Elise Sandbach.
