On May 30th, Dr. Alex Giltner will lead us in a talk on Scripture. Please bring your Bible. There is no charge to participate in this event.  The series theme is inspired by Philippians 1:27, "Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel." The series will feature topics on prayer, routine, friendship, conversion, and seek to foster your relationship with God, wherever you are at in your faith.
