Young Adults  Fellowship  

Hello ESSCC! This is to inform you that our Bible study group sessions are on break for the summer, and that we will resume in the Fall. Thank you again to those who have joined us at Chef Y’s Sweet Shoppe for our studies, and I look forward to seeing you again. I will send the study topic and scriptures prior to our fall meeting in the next couple of months. Meanwhile, be blessed, and I will continue to pray for you all, asking that you also please join me in keeping us all uplifted. The devil will ALWAYS be on his job, but we will forever be stronger and more powerful together in Christ. Sister VaRhea Hopkins.
