This Sunday (12/15/24) our lesson will be focused on answering the question: "why do I sometimes find it so difficult to spread the gospel?" We'll look at some answers, and talk about practical ways to get better about sharing Jesus with people by being more "complete." Please join us this Sunday at 10 AM for Bible class, and 11am for worship service! We hope to see you there!
