Additional Announcements

· Book Release: Joyfully and Faithfully Fit: The Extra Mile. Lindsey Rambo has generously offered to donate proceeds from her newly released book to MWABA! https://a.co/d/hV5Tesy Over the course of eight weeks, readers will be equipped with preparation, knowledge, and skills to complete a 5K run while growing their relationship with God.
