WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDYTwelve Women of the Bible by Lisa Terkeurst, Wednesdays at 6:00pm in Portico 2. This study is an enriched collection of women of the Bible that made significant contributions to the Bible. Each session covers one woman of the Bible, so you can pick this study up at anytime or miss a session or two. You can order your book at LifeWay or Amazon. If you need additional information, contact Fran Puryear at 229-938-8039.

MINISTRY FAIRAs we make our stewardship commitments on November 11, you are invited to visit our ministry fair in the courtyard to find out more about the ministry opportunities you might want to sign-up for.
