will begin its fall study Sept. 22 on Twelve Ordinary Men by John
MacArthur. The study will bring you face to face with the disciples. You'll put
yourself in their shoes. You'll understand their doubts and hopes, and you'll
hear the power of Jesus' words in a while new way. The message will be - If
Christ can accomplish His purposes through the lives of common men like these,
imagine what He has in store for you! Please email Denise at swajumc@aol or
call her at 873-8851 if you have any questions. All women of the community are
invited to join us.
Serendipity Nighttime
group will hold its first
class September 16.Starting a series of studies on the prophets. First one is a
three week study on Elijah. The voice of Elijah was sometimes strong, sometimes
faltering, but always proclaiming the message of God to the people of ancient
Israel. This three-session unit will delve into issues of discerning whom we
really serve as a people, what it means to commit ourselves to God, and what it
means to serve God in fearful times. If we will listen carefully, this old
prophet may just have something to say to us as well.
Frogs and Toads
This women’s book study group meets every 4-6 weeks. The group
gathers in someone’s home to discuss the book read the previous month. Check
the newsletter for details. Call Penny Sullivan at 873-8851, for more
