Our Connect Group hosts this time around are: Bill Bukowski and his men's group, Pastor John and Joyce Petersen and their "Over the Hilltoppers” group, Mark and Vivian Smith, and Pastor David Thompson and his "Apologetics” group. For more information, or to get connected with these hosts, see Pastor Soule or Martin Langhorst.
