Just a reminder that our Life Group resumes this evening at 6:00

pm in the church office. This is a group that gets together to discuss the morning sermon, or a topic of interest. It is open to everyone. Just show up!


Our next Shepherding Ministry meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 25th at 2:00 pm in Rm C1. Are you good at writing letters, cards, making phone calls? Then this group may be right for you. This ministry reaches out to those that may be ill, homebound, or just need a “pick me up” with a kind word or thought.
