Our primary purpose in Coffee Break is to reach out to women from our community and to women within our own church who are in need of a basic Bible study and Christian fellowship. If you are new to our church, like to study God's Word and meet other women, then please come to be a part of our fellowship.

Every Thursday morning we gather for singing and praise, then break into small groups for prayer and study. This year we plan to study the book of Mark. We are sure that the lessons will be a blessing to those who attend.

Do you know someone who is lonely, needs a friend and is searching for a closer relationship with Jesus Christ? Please bring them along with you to Coffee Break! We have a nursery staffed with loving women and an exciting Story Hour program for 2-5 year olds.

Project Philip is an outreach organization that places New Testament Bibles in hotels/motels, and supplies Christian literature to jails and hospitals. Distributed literature includes a mail-back postcard offering enrollment in our free children and/or adult Bible study (in both English and Spanish). Those who return their enrollment cards are sent a Bible lesson. Returned lessons are corrected and then the next lesson is mailed back to them.

Volunteers are always welcome to help prepare literature and Bibles for distribution, or to correct the Bible lessons. In addition to the camaraderie and refreshments, we take time to join together in prayer for this outreach. Even though we meet from 9:00 to 11:00 am, come join us when you are able to get there, and leave when you need to leave.
