Bible Study
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!
