On February 1st, the Wednesday morning ladies group is beginning a new study called Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted. Author and speaker, Priscilla Shirer states “you can’t escape life’s interruptions, but you can change your perspective on them. What you see as an interruption may truly be God’s divine invitation to a life so much bigger than you can imagine”. The study is held in Salem Township at 9:00a.m. For more information call Betsy at 678-2328.
