Dinner and Devotions

wererat

Dinner and Devotions – usually on the 4th Wednesday of each month – Stiner Hall – 5:30 PM.  The next Dinner and Devotions will be on September 26th.

Mark your calendar and make a dish to share and come to Dinner and Devotions night. It is only for an hour, but it is so much more. Fun time with your church family, good food, and a short devotion and prayer time. Hope to see familiar and new faces.

Remember: if the school district is closed for bad weather, Dinner and Devotions will be cancelled.
