- New Women's Bible Study: “Kingdom Politics - Government from God's Perspective" by Tony Evans.
In an increasingly polarized political climate, how can Christians participate in civil government in a way that brings honor to God? This will NOT be a Democrat vs Republican debate, but a Me and God reflection. If you are interested in learning about government from God's perspective, please join us for this six-session study. Starting May 29th at 9 am.
