Bible Study

2010-06-11T00:03:00.000-07:00

Matt has been leading a tremendous Bible study series on the Apostle's Creed. In a recent study the topic of salvation arose. As a result we have taken a break for a study on the topic of salvation. Last we had an informative and lively discussion and a great study.

This week we hope to cover two topics; What is salvation and why is it needed?

Come and join us at 18.30 upstairs in the Naas GAA.

Wednesday night prayer time

2010-02-17T13:29:00.000-08:00

I really am grateful for those who gather together for prayer and fellowship on Wednesday nights.

We had a special time tonight when Kenny and Faustina prepared special burgers for dinner.

During the prayer time nearly everyone was able to share some specific answer to prayer. God has worked some great victories for us!

Of course the time of uniting our hearts in prayer was a special blessing as well.

We would love for others to join us. We meet at Jay and Holly's every Wednesday at half seven.

'Keep Your Heart' series
