Bible Study
This year’s Bible Study is, “Come to the Waters.” Water plays a leading role in many of the stories in the Bible. For example: Creation, the delivery of God’s people (through the parting of the Red Sea and the crossing of the Jordan River), and the adoption of the people of God through baptism. This Bible Study explores some of the Bible’s 800 references to water. We invite all Presbyterian women to meet with us and explore how sometimes there is too much water and sometimes there is too little water.
We invite all Presbyterian Women to join us Tuesday, February 11, as we continue this fascinating Bible Study. Pastor Mark will lead both the morning and the evening Bible Studies. The daytime group meets from 10:00-11:15 a.m. and the evening group meets 7:00-8:15 p.m. with childcare provided as needed. Please let Terri Long know if you require childcare. (We meet at St. Andrew the second Tuesday of every month, September through May.)
PW Coordinating Team
The Coordinating Team will meet on Tuesday, February 11, at 5:45 p.m. in the Conference Room.
