WOMEN’S MINISTRY
Tuesday Evening Women’s Bible Study
In three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well.
In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, we will see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.
Study begins on Tuesday September 15th, from 6:30-8:30 PM. We meet in the Link foyer behind the portable screen.
A study guide is needed to participate. There are 5 days of homework to do on your own time. These can be purchased at Believe Books 62B 3rd St NE (for the same price as Amazon)
Bring your bible, study guide and pen to study nights. We will watch a video together as a large group and then break off into smaller groups for discussion and prayer time.
First night of study is our fellowship night, a time to get to know one another; please bring a snack to share!
