When I first considered joining my men’s groups, I wasn’t sure I could fit them into my schedule. But after being part of a couple, I’d highly recommend anyone of faith who isn’t currently in a group or Bible study to reach out and join one. Now, instead of wondering if I have time for them, I make time. These groups have helped me grow closer to others in our church, deepen my understanding of the Bible, and most importantly, strengthened my relationship with Christ.
Being part of these groups has given me confidence in reading Scripture. By sharing our thoughts and ideas, we gain a clearer understanding of God’s Word and how to apply it to our lives. We also support one another by praying for each other and learning about what’s happening in each other's lives. I’m grateful to be part of these groups and thankful to God for bringing them into my life.

And I particularly want to share this with you, my church family, because Evelyn is one of “my two”
I'm not sure where he's at spiritually, but Baxter has a Bible now. Just in case he gets curious about the God that blessed him with that miracle.
