In July, we welcome Bill Greenman who will do a four-week study on the Parables of Jesus.

and his love of Scriptures as a presenter. For many years Bill led the Pathfinders Class at Ward Church, and he led a large class at his Presbyterian Church in Leesburg, Florida. Bill is teaching and is leading Worship and has returned back to Northville.
