10:00-10:45 a.m. -- Children's Celebration class (for infants through first grade)

Disciple Bible Study and Disciples inAction Classes to Begin in September

Would you like to participate in a small group Bible study during the coming year? Plans are being made for both new Disciple Bible study classes (including Disciple I) and a new group called Disciples in Action to begin in early September. Disciple Bible study is an intensive 34-week class that includes daily reading assignments and one two-hour group meeting per week. Disciples in Action will use a different format by meeting twice per month, devoting one meeting to Bible study and one meeting to a service project. The Friday morning Lectionary class will also resume its weekly meetings on September 6. All are welcome.

Please contact Nancy at (919) 684-3917 by September 5 if you would like to participate or have questions about any of these groups.
