Women's Ministry

This fall, the Women’s Ministry will discover the redemptive side to Job’s story of suffering. Learn to use pain to strengthen your faith, point others to the gospel, and  remember God’s providence will never take you to a place where His grace will not sustain you. We will offer the same session twice on Monday, September 9 at 6:00pm and Thursday, September 12 at 10:00am. Books for this study will be $15. To order a book, please call the church office or check box #4 on your communication card. Contact Shea for more information.

Van Fund

Safety is always a concern and the van we now own is getting to the point where we feel we need to replace it with a newer one. So we are in the process of looking for a 15-passenger van. If you would like to contribute toward it, please feel free to do so. We ask that any contributions be above-and-beyond your regular giving. Simply write “van fund” in the memo line of your check or on the outside of your offering envelope. Thank you.
