FAITH OPPORTUNITIES (Cont.)
Tired of getting calendars in the mail? Don’t know what to do with them? If you don’t
have any more wall space for calendars with pretty pictures, consider putting the calen‐
dars in the Congregations 4 Children’s Box for Books in Fellowship Hall. Make sure the
pictures are appropriate for children and we will see that they get to children at Emma
Elementary who would like to use them.
If you had a picture made for the directory, but did not order any extras, please stop
by the reception area and pick up your picture.
Women’s Bible Study— Join us as we dive into the Word of God, worship, and fellow‐
ship together. This is a special group of women who not only studies together, but also
does life together. We will meet at the home of Marie Flowers Ray to begin our
fabulous Bible study journey. For more info, contact Leigh Young at 828‐691‐0586.
