NEW SMALL GROUP
“God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? We invite you to join Jesus After Dark, a small group of SSUMC, meeting Monday nights at 9pm. Yes, you read that right....9pm. Our next study, beginning Monday, January 20th is “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan. God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts—it's falling in love with God. For more information, including location, contact Mary Priolo at marypriolocpa@yahoo.com or 813.767.1849.
