Join us each week for our new worship series, Nehemiah and the Reconstruction / Renewal. Nehemiah heard God ask him a question.

Will we submit our lives to God’s work in us?

The Mens Bible Study restarted Tuesday September 6, 6:30-7:45PM on Zoom. Our first study is a lighter Christian based novel by Mitch Albom (who wrote “Tuesdays with Morrie”; “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”) titled: The Stranger in the Lifeboat.
What would happen if we called on God for help and God actually appeared? In Mitch Albom’s profound new novel of hope and faith, a group of shipwrecked passengers pull a strange man from the sea. He claims to be “the Lord.” and he says he can only save them if they all believe in him.
The book is available in audio or in book form on Amazon or many other book websites. If anyone would like us to order the book for you, please let John Varvaris know at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
