WOMEN’S MINISTRIES
Durham Prayer Breakfast gathered on February 18th, 2020 at the Grant County Senior Center for a lovely breakfast. Our hostesses were Carol Annis and Cheryl Moyer. The devotion was brought by Pastor Kelly Gindlesberger. We would really enjoy seeing more of you if you would like to join us. We signed and sent seven ‘Thinking of You’ cards and one ‘Sympathy’ card. You are invited to our next breakfast which will be on March 17th at 7:00 a.m. at the Grant Co Senior Center. The devotions will be brought by Denise Beard. Our hostesses will be Janice Smith and Esther Walker. Please join us as we gather together to worship the Lord with fellowship and a nice breakfast. A great way to start the day – Praising Our Lord.
