Spiritual Teaching Plan
It is the desire of the Roanoke ministry to listen to and respond to the needs of the congregation. We would also like to encourage spiritual growth through both formal and informal teaching of biblical truths and principles applicable to our daily living. With this intent in mind, we want you to be informed of the following plan for spiritual teaching for the current year and previous year.
Psalms 119:15
"I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways."
