Wed. Prayer Meeting @ 6:30pm. Bible Study: Fear. “ fear is evil, if it begets the use of evil means—either to preserve or acquire that which is good, or to avoid evil.

We then give no heed as to whether we displease God; as long as we can please men in order that they will do us no evil, but good. (Mat. 10:28)” Wilhelmus A'Brakel (1635-1711)
