WOMEN’S MINISTRIES
Durham Prayer Breakfast gathered on December 17th, 2019 at the Grant County Senior Center for a lovely breakfast. Our hostess was Janice Smith. The devotion was brought by Esther Walker. We signed and sent 8 ‘Thinking of You’ cards and received a love gift of $22.50 for the month of November and $28.00 for December. A new year has begun, and we would really enjoy seeing more of you if you would like to join us. You are invited to our next breakfast which will be on January 21st at 7:00 a.m. at the Grant Co Senior Center. The devotions will be brought by Catherine Fowler. Our hostesses will be Carlotta Barnes and Sandy Howard. Please join us as we gather together to worship the Lord with fellowship and a nice breakfast. A great way to start the day AND the New Year –
Praising Our Lord.
