Women’s Bible Studies
Our Bible Studies are usually weekly, held in homes and/or at the church. Look for current events on our calendar or in our Evangel and weekly newsletter.
For those of you wanting to gather on a weekly basis, we will begin studying the Gospel of John using the book Draw into the Mystery of Jesus through the Gospel of John by Jean Vanier (you can purchase the book on Amazon or talk to me and I’ll get you one). This group will meet on Wednesdays from 6-7pm in the Creation Room. Then, once per month we will have a large group gathering for all. On the 4th Wednesday of the month we will all gather in the Fellowship Hall for prayer, conversation, and varied topics. These monthly gatherings will be “stand alone” sessions. Attend one of them or attend them all! Anyone is always invited and will never feel behind!
