MONDAY MORNING STUDY / DISCUSSION AND PRAYER GROUP turns over a
new page! Our new study books are in the back of the church and available to all who
wish to join the group. The group meets from 10-11, every Monday morning. Lively and
thoughtful discussion and quiet time for prayer characterize the group. Different members of the group and the pastor take turns leading. Our new study is used by more
than 450,000 people weekly. It is a popular curriculum that enables Christians across
the country and around the world to study the same scriptures and same topics on the
same Sundays throughout the year. We can all literally be on the same page. The
SPRING 2015 Book centers on The Holy Spirit and includes passages from Mark, John,
Acts, 1 Corinthians, and 1,2 and 3 John. Cost for the student book is $8. An envelope is
in each book for your donation. See you tomorrow morning! We will begin using this
book Monday, April 20.
