MArk for EVERYONE

Have you been looking for a way to enhance your Sunday morning experience? Why not invest $15 and 20 minutes a week to purchase and read through the weekly devotions by Tom Wright. The anecdotes found throughout this book are excellent and help draw the reader into the discussion and meaning of the text of Mark. The book can be purchased at the Church. There are also neighborhood Bible Study groups forming to pursue the study of Mark. Contact for more information.

WEDNESDAY NOON BIBLE STUDY
This study is for adults who wish to learn more about the Word of God and its application in their lives and are available during lunch on Tuesdays. The group meets in the church lounge. We are currently studying Daniel.
