Who said that everything in church has to be serious stuff like study and worship? Sometimes it’s just as important to just get out and spend time with each other. After all, it’s the relationships that are formed in church that make all of that study and worship effective. And so- it’s hard to top Pizza and Bowling when it comes to guys going out for a fun evening! And that’s what we’re doing on Saturday January 19. Here are the details: DATE: ...
