WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer and Kay Arthur, who represent three generations committed to God and His Word, have been a huge blessing to millions of women by working with LifeWay to do Deeper Still events across the country.  Deeper Still is a multi-cultural, multi-generational conference with rich and relevant messages that will take you deeper in your relationship with God and His Word.  

So that many more women could share the experience, the decision was made to videotape the 2007 conference and to develop a Bible study workbook to go along with what they taught at the event.  At this event, Beth, Priscilla and Kay explored their lives and the life of David.  Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed: A Study of David contains the audio and video portions of this conference.  You will laugh with them, cry with them, and love God with them.  These authors' messages are divided into three segments, two lessons each. Each segment focuses on the life of David at a different stage of his life: as a young man (by Shirer), as a middle-aged man (by Moore), and as a man facing the final third of his life (by Arthur). 

We will begin this 6 week study on April 30 at 7:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall. 

For more information, contact Jo Ann Williams at 788-9017 or e-mail her at ForGodSoLoves@aol.com.

FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY These classes have the single greatest potential to change our church finances to free up hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund ministry both here and around the world. The average family cannot freely give to the Lord's work even if they want to. Come learn the deceptive lure of debt and the proven principles to help you win in this area of life.
