Sisters of Scripture Fall 2017 Study
2 Timothy Study
6-week Study, Begins Aug 30
Join our great community of women as we explore 2 Timothy through a study entitled Entrusted by Beth Moore. We were never meant to take this journey of faith alone or in secret. We need each other to stay the course and live lives of faithfulness. God has entrusted us with the great and mighty gift of the gospel, something too precious and life-giving to keep to ourselves. Participant books are $15.

Young Adult/Young Professionals Study
Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00pm beginning Sept 6th
Join us for 4 weeks of conversation about reading, understanding, and using your Bible. We will explore in-depth connections of scripture and history as we expand on our worship focus of The Bible Toolkit. No prior Bible knowledge or expertise necessary. Also, no specific book but will have discussion between Rob Bell’s What is the Bible? And Adam Hamilton’s Making Sense of the Bible, among other videos and other resources (and of course, your own Bible). Contact Marcus Womack at [email protected] or register on-line.

Begins the week of Sept 11th
Monday mornings 9:15-10:30 am (Women’s Study)
Thursday mornings from 9:15-10:30 am (All are Welcome)
Many of the controversies in the Church today can trace their roots back to Biblical interpretation. What does it mean to take the Bible seriously? Does it mean you have to take it literally? Join Laura Echols-Richter for this 3-week discussion about the Bible and how can it be an essential tool for living a life of faith. We will use resources provided in the Atlas. Register on-line or Contact [email protected]. Childcare is available upon request.
