You won’t want to miss this chance to hear and sing some of your favorite praise songs – a full hour of music!

In an age of distraction, singing grabs the attention of all our senses and focuses us on God.”
For nearly thirty years, the original Disciple Bible Study has helped millions of people read through the Bible and grow their faith through a 34-week class.
The new Disciple Fast Track study leads groups through the Bible in 24 weeks-12 on the Old Testament and 12 on the New Testament. Study manuals and videos give participants tools to absorb and retain what they learn about the Bible.
Our church is now forming a Disciple Fast Track group to go through the study together. Pastor Dan will be leading. We will meet Wednesday evenings, 7:00pm.
Main Features of Disciple Fast Track:
· Classes meet for a total of 24 weeks
– 12 Weeks Old Testament (August 31 – November 16)
– 12 Weeks New Testament (January 4 – March 22 +/- for inclement weather)
· Each group session lasts 75 minutes
·Daily scripture & workbook readings.
· 24 weekly illustrated whiteboard review videos
