TRIVIA NITE CORRECTION: Okay, it appears I owe an apology to those who answered the question about the location of Wake Forest as Winston-Salem North Carolina. We should have given you the point. There is in fact a town of Wake Forest, North Carolina. Upon further review, Wake Forest University was originally located in the town of Wake Forest, but then relocated to Winston-Salem. What was once the Wake Forest campus in Wake Forest is now a Baptist seminary.

BELIEVING GOD – A BETH MOORE STUDY
Beginning Sept. 25 from 11:30 – 1:00
This study examines the lives of Abraham, Moses, and others who believed God. Through their example, you will be encouraged to deepen your own trust in God and receive a fresh word from Him. It will lead you to a more active faith – one that begins with believing God. The study book is $15.00. Julie Taylor will facilitate. Bring your lunch if you want.
