READ THE BIBLE THROUGH IN 2015
Bible reading schedules are available at all entrances to the Church. Please make the commitment to read God’s Word in 2015.  It will make us a stronger Church and obedient Christians. Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.  For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
