Our next Women's Bible Study will begin on Saturday, from 8:30am to 10am. This
video study will be held on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays from November 8th - February 28th, unless snow causes delays. It will be a study with Kelly Minter titled
"No Other Gods".
We often think of idols as ancient graven images, but God's people still battle idolatry every day. Our idols look more familiar - money, fame, work, pleasure, people - to name a few. If we serve these 'gods' above the one true God, we miss the unrivaled joy of following and knowing Jesus. Kelly will help us identify and dethrone the idols we may unknowingly have in our lives . There is no cost, just let Robin Dower know if you will be attending so a study book can be reserved for you. rad.dower@comcast.net.
I'd like to thank everyone for the flowers that I received for pastor appreciation month.
Pastor Tony Etzel.
