Monday

“Let the Spirit change your way of thinking.”

~Ephesians 4:23 CEV~

The unit of Sunday School lessons on the Holy Spirit is eye-opening!

 We had another good church fellowship last night.  Next week, we’re having watermelon.  See you at 5:30 Sunday night.

The cabin will be the location of our monthly gathering to fellowship and hear from James Rimes.  He always has such good devotionals.  He’s also bringing his guitar.  Join us at 6:30.  We would love to have you.

A devotional thought for today:
