Bill Means will be teaching the Wednesday Night Book Study, "What Every Christian Ought to Know" beginning this Wednesday, May 18th at 5:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall. He will be picking the study up at Chapter 5. Bill will not be teaching from an outline so please read the chapter before class and be prepared for discussion and to ask a lot of questions.

If you haven't been attending the study, it's not too late! Bill encourages everyone to join in. Books are still available in the church office and in the sanctuary on the welcome table. At the end of the study Bill will go back for those who start the study now and teach the first four chapters.
