Women's Tuesday Bible Study
meets weekly
begins February 11th
| |
|
Facilitators:
Mavis Skeesuck & Karyn Gray
Journey through the biblical stories of the early Christian movement, and see what kind of wild adventures await those who truly believe Jesus.
In this eight-session video Bible study, Lisa Harper launches into the book of Acts to discover how Jesus' command to spread the gospel changed the lives of those who believed and shaped the culture that surrounded the growing church. At the end of this journey together, not only will you have studied this wild, adventurous, risk-taking book, but you'll see how God supernaturally orchestrated the events in Scripture to bring about the message of salvation that the early believers preached.
Today, we are faced with the same risks. Will we believe the words of Jesus and allow them to transform every part of our lives?
Books are $11.50 and can be purchased at the first session.

The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to encourage fellowship and to celebrate God’s healing power in our lives as we work our way along the road to recovery. We are changed as we share our experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace and forgiveness in solving our life’s problems. By working through the principles, we grow spiritually, and we are freed from hurts, hang-ups and habits. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with others and our personal, loving, and forgiving Higher Power, Jesus Christ.
