New This Year: Bible Journaling Fellowship
As part of our creatives ministries, we are starting a Bible Journaling Fellowship with the first meeting taking place on Saturday, January 25 at 10 AM at the Panera Bread at Tanglewood Mall. Bible journaling is a way to study and immerse yourself in the word of the Lord by using various creative mediums. This fellowship will take place monthly on the last Saturday of the month at various cafes around the Roanoke Valley. All ages are welcome!

Those planning to participate will need to bring their own journaling Bible or blank journal. Some materials will be provided but if you have any creative mediums at home such as stickers, colorful or patterned paper, colored pencils, pens, markers, etc. please feel free to bring them with you. Children are welcome as there will be a Bible journaling opportunity for them as well.
