Wednesday Night Bible Study to Resume Jan. 4

The Wednesday Night Bible Study Group will begin a new study starting Jan. 4. This will be an 11-week course that will take your through the entire Old Testament Book of Judges. You are invited to come and learn more about the faithfulness of God, despite the forgetfulness of His people. You will learn from some of the more well-known judges, like Deborah, Gideon and Samson, as well as some you may not be as familiar with, such as Othniel, Ehud and Jephthah. There is no cost to join. Contact Cyndy Zoch at cyndy. zoch@gmail.com for more information.
