Are you as interested as Beau (left) and Stormy to join our online bible study tomorrow (Dec9) with a review of the book of Daniel and anything we've forgotten to ask so far?

This is our last session before the holidays. We'll resume on Tuesday, January 13 to begin the Revelation to John.

Please remember to change your clocks back an hour tonight, or you'll be too early to church in the morning. Which actually might not be a bad thing, as you'll have more time to visit with others who have also come early. Maybe even help set up for the service or for coffee hour.
