FAITH BRIEFS
First Baptist Women meet

Cornett

Every Tuesday, ladies are invited to join First Baptist Church members at the Aegean Breeze at 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m.

The women chit-chat about anything and everything. This is great for moms whose kids have all gone to college or women who have no kids at all. Maybe you just need a break from all the kids at home!

Call the church office at First Baptist Gulf Breeze to reserve your seat - 850-932-2207

Community Life Center focuses on leadership

Gulf Breeze may get a chance to host the Leadership Summit in 2008.

The Leadership Summit was recently held live on Aug. 9 through 11 at Willow Creek Community Creek Campus, in South Barrington, Ill. and over 130 satellite locations, including Gulf Breeze United Methodist Community Life Center (CLC) in Gulf Breeze.
