Weekly Bulletin: 2022-11-16
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near” (Heb. 10:23–25).
Come gather together with your church family THIS Sunday, Nov. 20, at 10am, as we seek to encourage one another in the love of Christ which stirs us to love others! To learn more, visit www.stoningtonbaptist.org.
