Dear Friends,Please be in prayer this weekend as many of our women will be in Birmingham studying God's Word and enjoying fellowship together at their retreat. Pray for Christina Fox who will share God's Word with them. Pray also for traveling mercies as they make their way down and back over the weekend.In just four weeks, our men will head to Lake Guntersville for their annual retreat.
