Outreach
Spread the Word
We have been blessed with many Bibles donated to our church in various translations including several Study Bibles and Children’s Bibles. They are located on the back pew in the Sanctuary with the Spread the Word sign. If you would like a Bible for yourself or would like to give one to someone, please help yourself. There is no charge for these Bibles. God freely gives His love and His Word to us, so let us freely share it with others.
