  • Pick up your free audio CD in the Narthex before or after worship, or in the church office.
  • You can also select different versions of the text and download them for use on your computer, iPod or other mp3 player.  Click here to download.
  • Or contact the church office to purchase a $20 BibleStick that already has the audio loaded...you can just listen and go.
