The Gathering

The Gathering is pleased to announce its 2012 Summer Bible Study: Loving God with All Your Mind by Elizabeth George. Based on her popular book by the same name, the author presents very practical insights into the challenge of controlling our thoughts, so that we may love God fully and live our lives more abundantly. We will meet on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30, starting June 6th and ending on August 1st. The 7-week study will meet over a 9-week period, as we will not meet June 20th (VBS) or July 4th. We hope you will join us for this truly life-changing material, drawn from six powerful verses of scripture. Childcare is available upon request. The cost of the workbook is $ 10. You may sign up by clicking here, or by calling Susan Meek in the church office at 442-4237.
