We had a tradition of holding family Bible studies in our home every Friday evening when our children were young. After our daughter Deborah attended the Ambassador Bible Center in 2007, where she met her future husband Andrew Disher, we have continued to hold family Bible studies on Sabbaths and Holy Days at their request. Check out Deborah's art website by clicking here.
