Finding I AM; How Jesus Fully Satisfies the Cry of Your Heart by Lysa TerKeurst

This same study will be offered at three different times each week starting Tuesday, June 17, at 9:30am and 6:00pm, and Wednesday, June 18, at 9:30am. Childcare is available for the Wednesday morning study with registration. Register now by clicking here and purchase your book in the church bookstore. Please contact Charlotte Joye (cjoye@firstpresgreenville.org) or Tiffany Boggs (tiffanyboggs3@gmail.com) with questions.
