It’s time to start thinking about what commitments we have made to our personal Bible study. Disciple is a weekly 1½ to 2 hour Bible study that generally follows the school year. Anyone can sign up for Disciple I and the only pre-requisite for Disciple II, II, and IV is that you have already completed Disciple I. Sign up sheets will be available soon.
If you want a better working knowledge of the Bible, Disciple is the right class for you. The sign up sheets for upcoming Bible Studies will be on display starting August 17t.

Prayer Shawl Ministry 
Our prayer shawl supply is getting very low. We need shawls that reach from finger tip to finger tip and wide enough to cover the shoulders and reach below the waistline. We need them to be made of yarn colors that would appeal to both men, women, and children. People of all ages are touched and comforted through this ministry so if you knit or crochet, we need your help. Come join one of our knitting/crochet groups for a fun time of fellowship either on Wednesday nights at 7:00 p.m. or Thursday mornings at 10:00 a.m. in the Narthex. If you are interested in being a part of this ministry and can’t attend meetings, contact the church office, 782-5068, and we will mail you a packet.
