Women’s Ministry Summer Bible Study
This summer we will be studying the book of Nehemiah! Nehemiah recounts the relationship between a faithful God and His people. It is a story of God’s sovereignty and the power of prayer. It is a story of perseverance and trust in a covenant-keeping God. Ultimately, it is a story that points us to hope found in the gospel.
Signups for the summer study will open Sunday, May 14, and small groups will start the week of June 11. Groups will meet varying days both in person and on Zoom.
If you would like to study Nehemiah but your summer schedule is too full, there will be one spring group led by Lindsey Burris meeting from April 26 to June 7 on Wednesdays at 6:30pm. One spot remaining! Learn more and register now.
Are you wondering where your Bible went?
How about your favorite mug or jacket?
There’s a chance it has landed in our lost and found!
Stop by the lost and found table in the Lower Atrium this Sunday to see if anything is yours. Unclaimed items will be donated or discarded on April 24.
Beginning April 24, we will donate or discard items in the lost and found after 90 days. Thanks for helping us keep our building tidy!
