Jesus speaking to His disciples: Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Matthew 28:19-20”.

We will be in our booth September 12 – 15, 2019 from 9:00 am until 9:00 pm

LIBRARY NEWS: Paul, Apostle of Christ by Angela Hunt and based on the screenplay by Andrew Hyatt is a novelization of the motion picture starring Jim Caviezel and James Faulkner.
Paul survived many hardships in his life and was imprisoned in this story. He was held in Nero’s bleakest cell in Rome and was waiting execution (Nero was determined to get rid of the Christians living in Rome). Paul was haunted by his past and wondered if anyone remembered him.
Luke, Paul’s friend and physician visited Paul in prison but risked his life every time he did.
Luke resolved to write a book which told of “The Way” – the beginning of the Christian church.
Books donated over the summer were from – Mary Slater, Ruth Ritter, Cyndi Smith, Kathy Iwanaga, Mary Jo Rostek and Heidi Katzer’s sister for the beautiful Bible.
