1. What is something that you have recently learned or had affirmed about the nature and character of God from the Bible? How have you come to know him more fully as a result of his word?
2. What is something the Scriptures have prompted you to do or to change recently? What recent difference has it made in your life?
3. What Scriptural truth about God do you want to proclaim to the congregation? How can you magnify who he is from the word?
4. What is your life verse and why?
5. Is there a Scripture the Lord has used to give you direction or clarity about your purpose or call?

Wednesday, May 22, 6pm – All church potluck and Family Recreation Area dedication. The church is providing fried fish. Please bring other meats, sides, and desserts to share.
