Spirit West Announcements for December 15, 2019
ADVENT BIBLE STUDY 2019 at Spirit West on the Wednesday afternoons before Christmas and probably a couple of Wednesdays in the New Year. We will use it, if not we will follow the lead of Gathering and take a more in depth look at Isaiah, John the Baptist, Mary, and Joseph. The studies will take place from 1:30 to 3:00 pm on Wednesdays. A sign-up sheet is by the office, or call Larry at the church if you are interested
