Thursday Evening ~ NEW BOOK STUDY ~ ROC Upstairs, 7:00PM
Join us in an effort to recognize and defeat the false gods that are
at war within each of us as we study The Secret of Guidance by F. B.
Meyer. “Drawing constantly on Scripture in this book, Meyer exhorts
us to seek after God’s best for our lives by examining our inner motives, understanding
Christ’s role in our present-day, and then examining how we ought to then bear up
underneath the secret of God’s guidance.” Contact Keeley Guidroz at 494-2424 for
more details.
BLESSING BAGS
Give God’s love in a practical way. Handing out a Blessing Bag to someone gives you a very
real way to meet their immediate needs by providing them with some basic food items. This
is a tangible help in a situation where you find someone who is in need and you really feel
like you want to do something but are unsure of exactly what to do. Come to our table in
the foyer to pick up your bags and simple instructions on how to help, beginning May 24.
For information contact Glynn Robinson.

you recover from your loss and look forward to rebuilding your life.
