EXPERIENCING GOD, KNOWING AND DOING THE WILL OF GOD - a 13 week Bible study began Tuesday, January 22, at 6:30 p.m. in Room 208. Among other places, God has used this Bible study to introduce men in Angola Prison in Louisiana to Himself. Lives have been redeemed, and the prison has been changed from one of the most violent to one that now has over 200 inmate ministers and a fully accredited Biblical seminary. If you want to dig in and get serious with God, you are welcome to be a part of this study. Cost is $10 for the workbook.

GriefShare, an 11-week support group. Grieving the death of a family member is difficult, and we need all the support and help we can get as we go through the grieving process. Listening to other people who have gone through this unbelievable sorrow, and sharing your own experience, makes this a very helpful, healing ministry. It is open to anyone who has lost a loved one. We meet in Room 208 with Carl & Debbie Gustafson. (check the Midweek Memo to confirm meeting time as this group does not meet year round)
