Info for November 14 meeting

Our next meeting will be this coming Sunday, November 14, at 9:00 AM. Note the change from our previous starting time of 8:45! Although we are starting 15 minutes later, the meeting will still end at 10:15, to free the space for the teens.

Last month, we studied the first six chapters of Joshua. In the original schedule, Joshua 6 was to be the text for November 14, but since we studied that last month, we are going on to the next portion, which is Judges 6 to 8, the story of Gideon.
