| Have you had things happen in your life that you cannot explain? Good things and bad things? Have you wondered why? On four Sundays in January Rev Jones will be sharing a series of messages trying to answer that age-old question. You are invited to join us for worship in January to hear these messages. |
The next class in Rev. Jones' Monday Night
series is based on the book "WHY" by Pastor Adam Hamilton, and is entitled "WHY? Making Sense of God's Will".
This is a four week course, and each student will get a copy of the book.
