LADIES BIBLE STUDY, December 18th at 1 p.m.
Please mark your calendars for December 18th, 1:00 p.m., for Bible study in the Library. Our lesson is based on the much-loved hymn, "I Love to Tell the Story." If you were asked to tell the "old, old story" of Jesus today, what highlights of His Story would you share? We will study scripture passages for examples of telling Jesus' Story from our LWML Fall Quarterly. Bring your Bibles and Quarterly. I look forward to studying God's Word with you.
After the study we will have a time of fellowship and refreshments. Each lady is asked to bring a small sample of cookies or other Christmas "goodies" for all of us to share.
With love in the Lord,
Alice
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow, it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
