The Balcony class will have a new 4 week study taught by Brandon Yowler beginning today. He will lead a discussion on the book, Watchman Prayer by Dutch Sheets. The books will be available for a suggested donation of $10. Make plans to attend and learn how the author, Dutch Sheets issues an appeal for watchmen who, through strategic prayer and the Holy Spirit's leading, will call forth a perimeter of protection around their loved ones, cities, churches, and nations---while at the same time unraveling the schemes of the devil. Do you hear it? Will you respond?
