SENIORS FOR THE LORD
Tuesday, March 24 at Noon
The March Seniors for the Lord group will meet on Tuesday, Jan. 27, for a Bible study titled “The Angel of the Lord Provides a Ram!” We will study Genesis 22, where God tests Abraham after many years of shaping his faith, teaching him to trust God fully and take Him at His Word. This powerful passage invites us to reflect on faith, trust, and surrender as Abraham faces his greatest test—returning to God what God first gave him. If you are 55 and older, please join us for a carry-in lunch at noon, followed by Bible study at 12:30 p.m. All are welcome.
