LWML Spiritual Journaling Workshop
Looking for a new way to enhance your personal Bible reading? Lutheran Women in Mission (LWML) is offering a Spiritual Journaling Workshop on September 29 & 30.
These workshops will teach how visual illustrations of Scripture can take you deeper into the Word and can also be used to encourage others. Come Friday evening only ($10) for the basics; if you wish, continue with the Saturday sessions ($25) to add the opportunity to illustrate encouragement cards. Even if you don't think you are "creative," these workshops are fun and give an opportunity to explore ways we can spend time meditating on God's Word. Feel free to bring a friend.

This Fall, we will dive into God's word with a study on the letters of 1, 2, & 3 John. Jen Wilkin's bible study called Abide will be our guide. In this study, we will see how two thousand years later, the Apostle John's words call to Christians to continue to abide in God's truth.
