Women's
Bible Study
May 13, 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m
The month of May marks
our last Women's Bible Study for the season, concluding a second
year of studying women of the Bible. This month our candidate
is found in the book of Genesis, and for resource reading we find
her in Bad Girls of the Bible. Who is she? Potiphar's Wife: Bored
to Distraction, Bad to the Bone. But don't let the subject discourage
you - we always find inspiration in our time together as we discover
how God uses people and circumstances to advance His plan. We
will share our experiences as Valentine sisters this month, too.
all women of the congregation (guests, too) are welcome!
