Youth Invite High School students are invited to attend a Senior Youth Study at Peace each Sunday morning from 8:45 until 9:20 a.m. Beginning January 12, they will begin a new "Apologetics" study. What is Apologetics? Normally, when we think of the word "apology," we think of admitting we are wrong or regret. However, when study apologetics, this refers to defending our faith, not apologizing for it. This study will take a deeper look at what we believe versus what the world is telling us to believe.

Women’s Bible Study will be held 6:30pm, January 20 at St. John.

Ladies Aid Potluck at Hilltop will take place January 14 at 11:30am. Bring your favorite dish and share in Christian fellowship. Questions, phone Joan at 734-2228. All are welcome.
