Going on our fifth year, we will begin a new Tuesday morning Bible study, “the Life of David through the Psalms” on Tuesday, February 4 at the Poplar House from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm every other Tuesday morning until May 12th.  By studying the Psalms with 1 & 2 Samuel, we can analyze and determine the emotional state that was stirring within David as he faced life’s challenges. Come join us by signing the sheet in the copying room that states “Bible study: Teacher – Dr. Chavis.”
