Faith Adventure for Senior Singles
A new group, Faith Adventure for Senior Singles, is beginning on March 2 which is specifically designed for those who are 60+ years of age and single. This will be a place where relationships form as we grow in our spiritual walk and friendship with God. This class will be using the daily devotions from Upper Room as a basis for their discussion along with the Bible.
