WOMEN - WEDNESDAY EVENING

The ladies Wednesday evening small group is reading and discussing the book, “Experiencing Prayer with Jesus:  The Power of His Presence and Example” .

Prayer, isn’t an activity or a chore, it’s a way of life.  Jesus’ ministry was marked by a life of prayer.  This book isn’t simply just more information about prayer, but rather a leading into a life-changing encounter with Jesus.   Contact:  Barb Finch at 610-942-3735 or
