Also, we are still in need of volunteers to staff the child care and an Activity Leader. Please let Leslie Early know if you would like to serve in any of these roles. Ladies Bible Study: there will be two separate studies. The first begins on Sept. 10 and goes for five weeks. The study is titled, “Worship, from Eden to Eternity” Believers are called to live in such a way that all of life is worship, and this study explores what true worship looks like from Genesis to Revelation. The second study, “Rest“ will follow. Ladies may join one or both. Cost for the books depends on whether we are able to obtain them on sale, but it is usually $7-$20 for each book.
