Bible Study and Book Discussion Groups

""Give Up Something Bad for Lent" meets on Friday mornings at 10:00am.  We are studying the book, of the same name, by James W. Moore.  Instead of giving up something you love for Lent, like chocolate or ice cream, why not try giving up something bad - like a bad habit, a bad attitude, a bad word?
