Women’s Bible Study Summer Session is Back!
Women’s Summer session of Bible Study is now back in session! We will meet 6:30-7:30. This summer our Women’s Bible Study book will be the ESV Prayer Journal: 30 Days on Wisdom. This is a six week look at what scripture has to say about what it means to be truly wise, how we attain wisdom, and how we apply wisdom to our lives. Each week includes five days of teaching, prayer prompts, and space to journal your thoughts. In the group discussion time, you will share what you’ve learned and thought about. We have groups meeting at different times and places this summer. See the Women's Group in Church Center for more information or talk to Janet Wunrow or Jana Grayson.

Pray for One Another
We pray for one another because we are connected in an authentic community of faith. Each day this week, take a moment to pray for some of the people God has planted in our community. Thank God for calling them to be members of our church family. Pray for His help and provision for their needs. Ask Him to encourage and grow them in their faith. If you have an opportunity, take a moment and send them a word of encouragement this week.
