SMALL GROUPS COMING THIS FALL... Based on a survey and your responses, our team is planning some exciting new short-term classes starting in September. One will be on the life of John Wesley.  Another will be a Bible study (to be announced). Another will be on Kids, the Internet, & Technology. During Advent we will offer a study on Mary entitled, "Not A Silent Night." Keep an eye out for more information. And if you have any suggestions for others, let Hilda Paxton, Bobby Pickle, Tricia Givens or Pastor Bass know. More are being planned for the spring of 2017.
