WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
This year’s Bible Study, “United Through Christ, Bound to Each Other,” invites us to explore Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth. Together, we will examine the letter’s setting, the divisions within the congregation, and ultimately, the gifts given to all through the work of Christ. We are blessed to have Pastor Mark lead both the morning and evening Bible Studies. Please join us on Tuesday, October 13th, from 10:00–11:15 a.m. or from 7:00–8:15 p.m.
Childcare is available for the evening group if needed. Please let Wendy McKinley know if you require childcare. We hope you will join us.
