Monday 9/12 - “Striving for Sexual Purity” at the Fellowship Hall at 7:00 PM - We are called to “Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Gal. 6:2)  Satan is increasing his attacks on the Body of Christ from many angles, but especially in the area of sexual impurity and pornography. We want to strongly encourage every man, young and old alike, to gather with us to hear Brothers Matt Kaufmann and Arlan Miller. This presentation is not just for those who feel they need more guidance in this area, but will be an opportunity for all men to come together and learn what we can do to give and receive help in this battle against the enemy. Parental guidance is advised for those under age 14, but all men in our church are encouraged to come. If anyone has questions, please contact, Bros. Clark Leman or Fred Leman.
