Please join us for a four-week Advent Bible Study on Sundays beginning December 2 from 9:00 - 9:50 am in the Conference Room, facilitated by Cathy Nolin.

Please bring your Bible, but we will also have some available. Sign up in the Fellowship Hall if you would like to attend. Hope you can join us!
