This year’s Bible Study is “Resilience: Finding Joy and Our Own Identity in Jesus Christ.” How do we find our resilience and joy in the midst of stressful life circumstances? By reconnecting to our spirituality, following women of the Bible, and studying Jesus’ witness, we can discover a path that helps us fully embrace who we are as faithful disciples. Join us as we rediscover our resilience, joy, and identity found in Christ. We are blessed to have Pastor Mark lead both the morning and the evening Bible Studies. The next bible study is on Tuesday, February 10th. The daytime group meets from 10:00-11:15 a.m. and the evening group meets from 7:00-8:00 p.m.
