This is a great time of year as a family to dig deep into God’s Word. The colder weather keeps us inside which can often lead to boredom. Saxe Gotha Presbyterian Church is a great place to come as a family and engage in a meaningful and fun study.

Please visit the website at: www.saxegotha.org

A list of studies that are offered can be found on the home page.
