done in our lives, and bear each others burdens through joint prayer.  We learn practical
lessons from the Bible to help guide us to lives that are more Christ-like.  Our name
comes from two passages of scripture that remind us that we are the salt of the world,
meaning we should favor and preserve what God has taught us in His Word, and light the
world around us with the message of His Gospel.  If you are a lady and would like to visit
our class for a time of sweet, fun fellowship as well as thought provoking messages, you
are welcome to visit us anytime.
