Women’s Bible Study
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Wednesday nights we will be working through Timothy Keller’s book The Prodigal God – Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith. This study will take us through the familiar parable and widen our understanding of what Jesus wanted to teach his followers — not just about the wayward, but also the outwardly obedient who have lost sight of grace and the Father who radically loved them both.
Books are readily available in local bookstores and internet and are highly recommended. We invite all women to join us Wednesdays at 6:30pm in the sanctuary for this study.
Our Tuesday morning bible study meets from 9-11am and the ladies are studying Conversation Peace: The Power of Transformed Speech by Mary Kassian. This study covers seven biblical principles that speak to negative habits such as gossip, sarcasm, and discouraging words. Books are $12 and available at the study. Childcare is available upon reservation by emailing Kandy or signing the Friendship Pad.
Contact Kandy Jackson at 525-8215 for more information on the women’s ministry at Summit Woods.
