Dash Through the Old Testament – Monday nights, 7pm-8:15pm, starting September 20

Joseph Gill in the Social Hall on Monday nights starting Sept. 20 at 7pm for a quick dive into the Old Testament! Every Monday from Sept. 20-Easter (except for holidays), 7-8:15pm.

First Saturday Devotions – First Saturdays at 8:30am in the Church
