The Holy Spirit Unleashed in You
Do you know what it means to “walk by the Spirit?” Now you can
know firsthand who the Holy Spirit is, to whom the gift of the Spirit is
given, and how he fulfills His marvelous purpose. The book of Acts is
a gold mine of invaluable truths about living and walking by the
Spirit. The Wednesday morning Bible Study group will begin study
Wednesday, September 7th. Interested in participating? Contact
Sandie Griffeth at jdgriff9@aol.com or (843) 971-1266.
