H.S. Breakfast Club: The Pastor Dans plan to restart the Friday morning Bible study for high school students in Corsica on Sept. 8. We hope to do a 9-week session both semesters. Watch future bulletins for more details!

Woman's Bible study will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 20 at 7:00 p.m. We will study I & II Thessalonians by Beth Moore. This is a 9-week study called Children of the Day. The study is based on I Thessalonians 5:5 "You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the light or to the darkness." This study shows us how to live in the light—to light up a room because we are believers who carry the Holy Spirit in our hearts and are never without God's Light. Contact Jackie Niewenhuis if you would like a book and to attend this study. All women are welcome.
