Bible Study Leader
From Liz Miller: “I'm wondering if there might be someone interested in taking leadership of a Bible study at Hamilton House- a senior living facility on Hamilton-Wolfe near Babcock. The Bible study recently lost its leader and has been cancelled. It has previously met on Thursday mornings. (Liz Miller's parents and Kathy Smith's brother both live there.) Interested? Talk with Liz - 543-0213.”

Interface
Women, You are invited to consider this 12 week Discipling program which trains women for Christian living. Through guiding, supporting, and encouraging them in practical ways, women will grow in their ability to live for Christ. We will study the gospel of Luke, working through a chapter each week. Childcare - which includes nursery and a class for 3-5 year olds - is available on Wednesday mornings.

Interface begins at the end of August and continues to Thanksgiving. A second semester will begin in January and finish by Easter. Registration forms are on the table in the foyer. Questions? Look for Marian Zinter.
