Ladies Open Door Bible Study has started via ZOOM on Mondays @ 8:15pm | Tuesdays @ 9:30am. We started a new study last week called Get Out of Your Head: Stopping the Spiral of Toxic Thoughts by Jennie Allen. It is based on the book of Philippians and we encourage you to read through the book of Philippians each week (it’s only 6 chapters so you can do it!). What a great time to be on guard with our thoughts when there is so much swirling around us! This study is on RightNow Media and is six sessions long. We are watching one session each week on our own and then join a zoom meeting to discuss what we learned. It’s not too late to join in!  Go ahead and watch sessions 1 & 2!  For access to RightNow Media, test”RIGHTNOW FBCDANVILLE” to 41411. PLEASE CONTACT HEATHER HESS TO SIGN UP FOR THE CLASS OF YOUR CHOICE (570) 854-1492 – or – wfhesshome@aol.com. She will then send you the link to the Zoom meeting as well as the weekly discussion questions. The book will not be necessary for this study but is a great read! If you’d like to order it, you can find it at jennieallen.com and Amazon.

Spring Business Meeting The Spring business meeting, scheduled for June 3 has been canceled.
