Trip Informational Meeting

Sunday, August 18 Following 10:30 worship in the Chapel

This will be a brief meeting to give information

about the upcoming mission trip to work with

our NAME partners January 18-29, 2020.

This will be an international trip.

Parking is always at a premium during the school year. If you are

able-bodied, please park in one of the alternate parking lots shown

below (Courthouse, Today’s Bank, Star Shopper, back of Auto Zone

or at the former Saver’s Club), leaving the near spaces for guests

and those with mobility issues.

Let’s read through

Praying the Bible together.

Join me for four Sunday evenings in September

as we read through Praying the Bible. This book

will guide our 50 minute sessions each week as

we explore turning our praying from boredom to

energetic and from same ole, same ole to

new and meaningful.

Register for this study here

or call the church office.
