• Our church office hours are changing!  Beginning in September, the church office will be open: Wednesday 9:30-1:30; Thursday 11-3; and Friday 11-3.

• The Pastor’s Study began a new book this week:  The Holy Spirit, by Adam Hamilton.  Purchase yours through your favorite local or online bookseller and join us.  Due to the change in office hours starting in September, the sessions will now be on Thursday evening / Friday morning.

If you are interested in purchasing any of these items, please do so by September 15. Thank you to all that have supported this part of our connection with the Nar Sarah clinic and the people of Kabala, Sierra Leone. Our church will continue to support them through our donations to the Maternity hospital and the NKUMC Women’s regular preparation of the birthing kits.
