This 7-week study encourages participants to fully engage in the abundant life God has waiting for those who will allow Him to take the lead in daily living. “One in a Million” is an opportunity for you to experience your deliverance from strongholds to conquer your

wilderness living, and to claim your God-given inheritance.

Childcare is available by reservation through the Education Office, 342-5320.For more information about this Bible study

and other women’s events go to www.shbc.cc.

MISSION PRAYER FOCUSThe Light of the Village is a front-line, hands-on Christian ministry designed to share Christ’s message of faith, hope, and love to the inner city.

Wednesday afternoon, April 15 the LOV Girl’s Bible Study will be meeting at the Spring Hill Baptist Activities Center. These high school girls meet with volunteers from our church and others to share a snack and Bible study.

Please pray that God would move their faith into action and that they would learn to apply the truths they are learning in very practical ways. Our topic of study each week is taken from a group of questions the girls have submitted about salvation, God and Jesus. Pray for them as they search for Truth.
