Women's Ministry Advent Study
Join us as we lean into The Wonder of Advent. This study will focus on delighting in the hope, joy, peace, and love of Christmas. During the four weeks of Advent, starting Sunday, December 1, we will meet as a group after the worship service from 11:00am-12:00pm for discussion, encouragement, and prayer. The book will cost $10.
The study will be wrapped up on December 22.
Cookie Fundraiser
This is where we ask families in our Kids Ministry to bake cookies and we ask you to bring cash to buy the cookies! Specifically, this year we are looking to raise $1,500 to help train pastors in Nepal. The Deavers have identified 15 local pastors who desire theological training and have asked our church to partner with them in accomplishing this goal. Joanna and I will be heading to Nepal in early December to help facilitate one of these trainings.
If you can’t make and want to donate click the button and change it from General Fund to Nepal Mission.
