APRIL GROUP EVENTS

• Tuesday Morning Prayer Group

  A prayer group meets every Tuesday morning at 10 am in the prayer room behind the Sanctuary. It is open to everyone who believes prayer is essential to address our personal concerns, and the concerns of our church, our community, our nation and our world. Join us in claiming this promise from God – “If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attentive unto the prayer that is made in this place.” – 2 Chronicles 7:14-15 KJV

• Revelation Bible Study - Sundays (10 a.m.)

  Come study this mysterious yet fascinating book of the Bible. It not only tells of things to come, but also things past and things present. See how the words of our risen Christ can be applied to, and even change, your Christian walk. We will be meeting in the Disciple Room behind the Sanctuary.
