Next Study: REVELATION! Six-week study starts Wednesday, August 26. The end of the world. How do you react to that thought? Does it make you afraid? Excited. Nervous? Full of anticipation? Full of peace? The apostle John was privileged to preview the end of the world. He experienced an amazing vision that gave him a glimpse of heaven. Book required: $9.00 each

Calling all knitters and crocheters! Whether you're an experienced maker
or have always wanted to learn, you're invited to join us on Wednesday
evenings for a time of creativity, fellowship, and encouragement. Bring
the project you're currently working on, dust off that unfinished
project you've been meaning to complete, or start something brand new.
Our group welcomes both men and women and is open to adults of all skill
levels, including beginners who would like to learn. Each evening will
be a relaxed time of conversation and fellowship as we stitch together.
We'll encourage one another, share ideas, offer help when someone gets
stuck on a project, and even learn new techniques or stitches along the
way. Whether you come for the crafting, the community, or both, we'd
love to have you join us!
