PASTOR’S
PROLOGUE
T
he new semester of Bold
Course begins this week.
Guide books are available
should you desire a hard copy.
There is also a PDF file in which you
can download for those who desire
an electronic version. If you are new
to this family discipleship plan I
encourage you to secure a copy and
begin the journey with us. It is never
too late to start on the right track
with God.
Every Lord’s Day we gather to study
God’s Word and worship. There are
Bible study classes for all ages. Our
worship services are designed for all
ages as well. Each of these activities
requires many moving parts which
are comprised of volunteers who
love the Lord and want to serve Him
using their gifts and talents. What is
accomplished is the result of God’s
Spirit being poured out through
people. It is not too late to join in
one of our Bible study classes.
I look forward to seeing you this
Sunday in Bible study and worship.
Please invite a friend to come with
you.
