NEW Summer Bible Study!

We are excited to announce a new summer Bible Study opportunity. The study, Digging In, will help us answer the most pressing questions the unbelieving world asks of Jesus' followers. Digging In is for everyone; young and old, men and women, single and married.

It will be held at Mt. Olive on Thursday mornings at 9:00am., June 6th - August 22nd, and lead by Pastor Workentine. The study will be open to anyone and is being promoted in the Green Bay area churches – a great opportunity to meet other WELS members.  We'll be using the book by MLC professor Mark Paustian, "Prepared to Answer".  A copy of the book is required for the class.

You will also be able to request and purchase a copy of the book through the registration. Registration is open now and will close May 31st.  Please contact Chuck Adrian (chuck.adrian66@gmail.com) or 920.562.2432 (cell/txt) with any questions.
