Hello, ladies! I hope you have had a great summer so far! Just to make you aware, Ladies’ class starts on Tuesday, September 8. We will be studying James this fall.
Before class starts, I would like to initiate “40 Days of Prayer” praying for the success of our class this year. The success of our class being defined as... reaching more women in our congregation, involv-ing women from the community who don’t know Christ, and also welcoming visitors from other churches. My hope is that every woman involved in our “40 Days of Prayer” will pray the first thing in the morning. I think this year is going to be amazing for our Ladies’ class by reaching women we have never imagined. So, won’t you please join me in praying for an awesome study together this year? If you have any questions, feel free to call me, Donna Corley, at 310-3994.

Ladies’ Class meets every Tuesday beginning
