"Grace as a gift" Bible Study in Romans

On Tuesday May 2nd we will kick off a 12 week bible study of Romans.

This study will coincide with readings and sermons in worship. Tuesday bible study is from noon-1pm. All are welcome!

A THOUSAND ACRES

JANE SMILEY

This is brilliant portraits of family relationships that are never what they seem, laced with layers of mysteries. It is a dramatic novel of an American family whose wealth cannot stay the hand of tragedy. It is a commanding novel, based on a lonely road in the Midwest.

ANGELS WATCHING OVER ME!

Guidepost

This book is a collection of firsthand accounts written by women and men who have been granted a glimpse of these special Angels from heaven. But, first and foremost, it is a book about faith in God. The writers included here are going to tell you about their own spiritual journeys and the effect that angelic visitations have had on them.
