“How to Study Your Bible” Stacey will be offering a teaching time on “How to study your Bible” on
Wednesday, September 2nd (not August 31) at 6:30 and on Wednesday
morning, September 2nd at 10:00. Both will be held in the gym.
Men’s & Ladies Bible Studies We will resume with the Men’s & Ladies Monday evening Bible study on
Monday, September 21, at 6:30 at the church. The Wednesday morning La-
dies study will begin on September 23 at 10:00 at Kitty Bell’s home.
Ladies Bible Study
Prayerfully consider being a part of the women’s Bible study beginning the week of Sep-
tember 21, 2015. There will be two opportunities to gather with other women and inter-
act with God’s Word to facilitate growth and understanding. A group will meet Monday
evenings at First Congregational Church at 6:30 P.M., and the Wednesday morning
group will meet in the home of Kitty Bell at 10:00 A.M. The study is entitled “Women in
Genesis”. Many truths can be applied to our lives from these women in the book of Gene-
sis regardless of our status in life. There isn’t any book to purchase. All of the reading is
from the Bible and questions to guide your study will be provided for each lesson. It is
recommended to have a three-ring binder/folder to keep your materials organized.

Coming to a Theater near you!! “War Room” Prayer is a powerful weapon! The powerful Christian movie “War Room” will open on August 28th at Showplace 12. WAR ROOM, the new movie
from the creators of Courageous and Fireproof, is a vivid reminder of what can happen when one family--or one congregation, or one community, or
one country--commits to fighting their battles in prayer. It is a story that will challenge people to join in making prayer the central focus of their church.
