Thursday Morning Women’s Study -

Coffee at 9 a.m. and a study of one of the books of the bible is the backbone of this group. Good friendships have formed from this group as they share a common love of scripture and its affect on our lives. This group has an open door policy. No need to knock . . . just come on in!
