College Age Group
Sunday Mornings
We are forming a new college-age, short-term, group around Donald Miller's video series called The Open Table (http://jointheopentable.com/). We are open to forming the group during either the 9:30 or 11:00am Sunday morning time slots, which ever works best for the most. Check out the Donald's website and let Todd Spencer know if your are interested in being a part of the group.
"The Open Table introduces believers and nonbelievers to the person and deity of Christ in a new and refreshing way."
