Men’s Breakfast Saturday, April 18th 9:00 AM, Fellowship Hall
Men, have you ever ask yourselves the question:
As a church, are we more united or more divided?
Join us as guest speaker Travis Zimmerman of Speak My Word
Ministries explores with us the gripping topic, “Disputable Matters:
What really matters.” Sure it’s true that the Church holds a variety
of views on both theological and practical issues, but we’ll address
the heart of the issue: Are these issues worth dividing over, or is what
unites us greater than what divides us?
