Anne Lamott tells a story about a little girl who got lost one day, she ran up and down the streets of the big town where they lived, but she couldn’t find a single landmark. She was very frightened. Finally a policeman stopped to help her. He put her in the passenger seat of his…
Having fellowship with other Christians is special. The Disciple Women’s Fellowship promotes fellowship and thereby lasting friendships. Regular meetings are on the second Wednesday of each month at 9 am, in the fellowship hall.
