A sermon by Elsa A. Peters, Associate Minister

Upcoming Study Opportunities

THE HEALING OILS OF THE BIBLE

Come on Wednesday, April 9, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in Wright Pavilion where Robin Rand will be presenting a course in "The Healing Oils of the Bible". You will learn about them, what they were, where they came from, and how they were used. Robin will have the real oils to show you and will tell you how they are used today.

If you are interested, please sign up on the table outside Wright Pavilion to reserve your place in the class. Numbers will be limited to 25 to facilitate group participation. There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door to cover the costs of the oils. Bring your Bible. For more information contact Ann Googins at 799-1916.
