Effective Parenting in a Defective World by Chip Ingram
Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby and Claude King

Books are for sale in the foyer.   Our last Souled Out sessions were a great time of fellowship and Bible learning and we're looking forward to this new session as well!   See Pastor Craig for more information or take a brochure on the display table in the foyer. 

In addition to our "Souled Out" Bible studies on Sunday nights, there is a group that meets each Sunday morning year-round from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. in the church library. Dale Carlson leads the group and currently they are studying Basic Truths of the Bible, such as creation, miracles, nature and fall of man, Christ and his work, etc.   Their time includes much discussion and sharing prayer needs.  This class is always open to anyone who would like to join - try it out some Sunday morning!
