Two 8-Week Sessions on the Book of Acts
A new season of studies in the Acts of the Apostles begins this month. Two small groups will gather in homes to share reflections on the earliest churches in action. It's a great way to build friendship, learn about the beginnings of our Christian heritage, and support each other in our commitment to Christ. One group will meet on Sundays, January 17 - March 7, 7:00-8:00 p.m.; the other will meet on Mondays, January 18 - March 8, 7:00-8:00 p.m. For more information and to join a group, contact the church office.
