Wednesdays

Women’s Bible and Book Study

Six-week study beginning May 17, 2023. "Signs and Wonders: A Beginner’s Guide to the Miracles of Jesus" By Amy-Jill Levine. Amy-Jill Levine explores selected miracles of Jesus in historical and theological context. For each miracle she discusses not only how past witnesses would have understood the events, but also how today’s readers can draw meaning from Jesus’s words and actions. Levine also challenges the reader to cherish the helpers and the healed even as we cherish the healer. Amy-Jill is a respected professor and a prolific writer. Her personal joy and humor make this DVD and book study a delight.

When: Wednesdays at 10:00 am the Church
