A Lineage of Grace is written by Francine Rivers.

It is five stories of unlikely women who changed eternity. The study group will meet once a month on

Tuesday morning from 10-11 am. The first study will be May 22nd. If you are interested,

contact Patricia Stephens at 325-656-2663.

Thank you all for the music requests! I was blown away by how many were received. Someone sent me 20!! Anyway, just want you to know that it is my goal to do as many of them as I can. However, they will be used as they relate to the sermon. Be patient and I hope you hear one of your favorites soon. In Christ, Mike
