Life Group Study:
THE PRODIGAL God
Join us in rediscovering the heart of the Christian faith.
Our Life Groups are informal, entry level, Bible based discussions. Most groups meet weekly in homes. Our facilitators make it easy to join in. We have men's, women's, and mixed groups. The next session of Life Groups is 6 weeks long. The menu of groups for fall will be published soon.
Life Groups are forming now. Visit the Information Table on Sundays or contact lifegroups@cantonfriendship.org to join us in this church-wide study.

If you want to go, don't just "think about it," Git 'er Done! We're already into next week. A group of us are going to the Sunday evening game of Labor Day Weekend.
We will be publishing a business and professional services directory in the fall. The directory is for people attending Friendship Church whom want to make their business known and for others who want to access products or services from their church friends.

A group from the church is meeting up at the Compuware arena drive-in tonight (Wednesday). The admission is $5/person and you can bring your own food and drinks. Bring a lawn chair and walk over to where the group is parked to enjoy the new Nanny McPhee and Despicable Me. It starts a little before sunset.
