Beginning on May 2nd, there will be a new Wednesday night study group!

Studying author and Pastor James C. Howell's book, The Beatitudes for Today, the group will feature an engaging exploration of the Beatitudes for all, regardless of your biblical knowledge. In addition to exploring the subject's meaning in the past, this study will emphasize their value in the present by applying Jesus' teachings to our contemporary world and to today's Christian lives.

If you are interested in joining this group, or for more information, call the Church office.
