Mid-Week and Evening Bible Studies:

  • Women - Monday 9:30am-11:30am - Starting Jan 11th at 9:30 in the Gathering Room. Our study will be "Walking by Faith - Lessons Learned in the Dark" written by Jennifer Rothschild. Jennifer Rothschild knows not eveyone sees 20/20. Although Jennifer is physically blind, God has taught her to see that living a life based on faith rather than sight requires us to look at our situations through a lens that filters out what is seen and, instead, focuses on what is unseen -- those things that are eternal. Walking by Faith: Lessons Learned in the Dark contrasts the evidences of walking by faith and walking by sight and encourages participants to take risks, give God control, persevere through hardship, receive God's gifts, be guided by the Truth rather than feelings, and seek God.
