Join us Wednesday evenings from August - May as we come together for a dinner and Bible study. This program begins with dinner at 5:45 p.m. and concludes at 7:30. We enjoy music, fellowship, and inspiration.

There is Something for Everyone...

“To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit.”
- 1 Corinthians 12:8

Preparation for the Journey...
           
It is Benjamin Franklin who is credited with saying; “One of the greatest tragedies in life is to aim our lives at precisely nothing and to hit it with amazing accuracy!” We have tried our very best to make sure this does not happen with out Lay Academy.

We are aiming the Lay Academy at one target – to proclaim in every moment of worship the plan that God has put in place for the salvation of our souls: namely, making Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior of our lives! This happens on a journey that involves careful preparation; sincere facilitators who are open to the Holy Spirit of God; and faithful participants.

This then is your invitation to participate in this new and exciting Lay Academy. The initial meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 16th at 6:30 p.m in the church Fellowship Hall. We hope you will attend. Please call the church office is you would like more information.

Yours In His Service,

Kevin and Larry
