Gin's Men's Bible Study
Tuesday Mornings at the Gin there is a short twenty-minute Bible Study beginning at 8:00 am. Those present spend just a few minutes discussing a verse or two of Scripture as we set our hearts and minds for the day. The coffee is always on. Take this as your invitation! We'll be having another breakfast around the start of school in August.
NOTE: There will not be a Bible Study NEXT Tuesday, June 24th!
