Daniel Bible Study beginning after Easter
The Reverend Jack Tookey will be leading a new Bible study on the Book of Daniel titled "Growing Strong in an Alien World" beginning after Easter. The study will follow Daniel through his journey from kidnapped noble Jewish child to the most powerful man in Babylon to a "highly favored person" before his God Most High. The eight-session series will focus on the role of prayer and faith fellowship in Daniel's (and, our) personal and spiritual growth. If you would like to participate in the study, please contact Jack: (Call or Text) 336-337-2343 or (Email) jtookey@mindspring.com
Let him know what days and times work best for you. All classes will meet in the library at First UMC, with day and time determined by what works best for participants' schedules. We hope you will prayerfully consider this opportunity to dig deeper into a remarkable book of the Bible!
