Faith Forum
Many members of the St Regis Club place an important emphasis on their faith. Please feel free to join this group at 8PM on the last Thursday night of each month (November meeting will be 11/17) as members discuss theological, philosophical and faith oriented issues.
The Faith Forum is moderated by Nate Harlan, Pastor of Trinity Evangelical Church in Larwill.
