Bonhomme Presbyterian Church - Chesterfield, MO

Saturday, February 20 & April 17 - PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE BACK PROGRAM The purpose of this program is to increase the awareness of prescription and over the counter drug abuse issues facing our area’s youth and to help eliminate prescription drugs that are no longer being used from homes. The medicine cabinet in the home is the most popular source of medications of abuse. This program will provide a place for residents to safely dispose of prescription drugs that are no longer needed. The Prescription Take Back events proved extremely successful in the City of Eureka in 2009 and it is hoped that expanding the event will prove equally successful. >>learn more

	Book Study "Daring to Draw Near" During Lent 2010, we will be studying the subject of prayer. Through the prayers of the Bible, we will look at life issues and the longings for our hearts. Prayer allows us to learn about God and how he strives to initiate a relationship with us. Our small groups will read "Daring to Draw Near" by John White. The study questions will be in alignment with the weekly sermons. The study will enhance your worship experience while Tom and Don walk us through this time of discovering prayer. Please join us as we become a church that is more prayer aware. For more information about joining or forming a small group, contact Cheryl Holland at 636-532-3486.
