MONDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY
Beginning Monday, September 26th at 9:30
in the Conference Room
When you think of the Old Testament book of Ruth, do you think of a tender love story? It is that – but it’s so much more. Ruth is the story of loss, redeeming love, and legacy. Come, join us this Fall and meet your Kinsman-Redeemer, Jesus, on every page.
We will use Kelly Minter’s study – Ruth: loss, love & legacy – to guide us. It can be found at Amazon.com and LifeWay.com. We will gather each Monday morning for 7 weeks, beginning September 26th, and ending November 14th. We will not meet on October 24th.
If you have any questions, please contact Patty Tew at 407-341-3218 or [email protected].

This is the week, if you took a bag, bring it back during the week and leave it at the office, OR bring it back on Sunday and leave it at the back of Quigley, OR at the office. THANK YOU!
PLEASE NOTE: in regards to this ministry, for those not presently attending church, maybe watching online, or on vacation, if you’d like to participate when we are not actively in the week of “bag filling and collecting”, it is possible to arrange for AMAZON and/or PUBLIX to deliver food to the church.
