After ‘Driven Heroes’ with Timothy, Lydia and others, we studied ‘Quiet Heroes’ that included John, Mark, and Dorcas. We’re getting ready to begin ‘Intrepid Heroes’ starting with Moses & Aaron. We’re a varied group and welcome you to join us at Karen Perkins’ home. We start gathering around 6:30 pm for social time and snacks with Bible Study starting around 7:00 pm. We have entertainment for kids and close each session with a brief lesson and prayer that includes them.
