Please set aside October 17 & 18 to learn more about dealing with and helping others deal with many of the challenges that face our world today (addictions, gender and identity confusion, worldly views on marriage, etc). Dr. James H. Dalton, PhD, LPC/MHSP will help us better understand and deal with the challenges these issues present to not only help those of the church but also non-believers, so that we may have the opportunity to share Jesus with them. Flyers are on the desk in the foyer. (Dr. Dalton is the Chair of the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Professor of Clinical Mental Health at Freed Hardeman University.)
Men, please join us for a MEN’S BREAKFAST which will be held at the building, Saturday, October 10, at 8:00am.
Volunteers are needed to make one visit each month to a shut-in, widow, or widower. If you would be willing to help with that, please contact Louie Ferris
