Ladies Coffee & Conversation
Ladies Coffee & Conversation: Beginning Thursday, April 21, 7 p.m.-8:15 p.m. all ladies invited for weekly coffee and visiting at Dumfries Panera, while we also discuss The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer! April 21 will be an intro, so just come for a relaxing break and opportunity to visit with other women seeking to grow in the Lord. An enduring Christian classic written by renowned pastor and theologian A. W. Tozer, this devotional masterpiece is at once thought-provoking and spirit-enlivening, an invitation to think deeply about your faith even as you come alive to God's presence surrounding, sustaining, and-yes-pursuing you. If you are hungry, The Pursuit of God will lead you to the only One who can satisfy the soul.
Ladies of all ages and stages are invited! RSVP to Tara for Katherine for book ordering info.
