JoyBreak (Weekday Women's Study)

All women are invited to join us for our weekday Bible study, JoyBreak, each Wednesday morning from 9:30 to 10:45 AM.  This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other women and get into God's Word.  Our first session begins September 18.  Feel free to invite friends!

 

Our Fall study, Luke in the Land, is written by Kristi McLelland.  We will follow her travels through Israel as we study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. Our study will challenge the way we read the accounts of Jesus through teaching videos that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus.  Along the way, you'll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everybody.
