SCRIPTURE OF THE MONTH:
JAMES 1.26-27
“If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”
WEDNESDAY NIGHT ADULT CLASS
