Welcome to “The Good Life Digest“ where you can find ways to serve our Lord, the church and community!

The Pastor’s Desk

Join us on Thursdays for our Noon Brown Bag Bible Study!  We meet in the adult Sunday School room.  We’re going to be using the Kerygma Bible study program.  “Discovering the Bible” that covers 15 lessons for the Old Testament, and 15 lessons for the New Testament.  This is a wonderful, comprehensive, yet easily understood Biblical exploration.  The church is buying 10 Bible studies, if you would like to defray the cost of them, the cost is $44.00.  Please let me know if you are interested and willing to attend.
