The ladies invite you to reflect on your faith journey thus far. Perhaps you could consider what parts of your faith you inherited from traditions or people who lived before you, and what parts of your faith are more personal?

The Tuesday Ladies Class (TLC) are beginning a new study on Ecclesiastes starting January 14th. We will meet weekly in the Church Office Conference Room on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 till 7:30 PM. All that is needed is your bible and a blank notebook. The Bible footnotes and other Bible resources will be utilized as we study together.
