Please join us in the narthex as we chat, enjoy a few bites of goodies and coffee, and join in a short bible study.  All materials are provided.  Just bring yourself and a friend.  It's a great way to introduce those who are not involved in the church to meet us, and to invite those who come to other events and to come a bit closer.
