Attention Women of All Ages!
We are so excited for the New Year to begin! Grab your new book Everyday Genesis by Nika Maples before our first meeting, this Wednesday (January 3rd) evening between 6:30-7:30 PM. We will begin a 15 week study with discussion questions provided by Nika! This study will lead us right up to the women’s retreat where Nika will help us dig deeper and grow closer spiritually as sisters. All of the women’s classes will be studying the same material but can continue to meet with their own age group! If you want to step into another class…feel free! Hoping to provide a Zoom for those interested! Any age, any stage, we will all be on the same page inviting God to re-create us!
2024 Budget
Next year’s budget is now available online. Paper copies are available from the church office on request. Please address any questions to the Elders.
