ESTHER: IT'S TOUGH BEING A WOMAN, BY BETH MOORE

If you've ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the Bible study for you. Esther is not a typical book of the Bible in that God's name is not mentioned. However in this 9 week study, one learns about the nature of God and His activity in human history.   Esther relates the dramatic preservation of the Persian Jews in the face of annihilation.  Esther, though a queen, lived as an outsider in a hostile environment and has a message for today's women. Workbooks are $18 with scholarships available upon request.  Esther begins January 17th on Thursdays from 9:30-11:30 a.m. in room 258/9 and will be led by Peggy Browne, Delaine Dinsmore and Rachel Nevelos. Please contact Rachel Nevelos at rachelnev@aol.com or 678-964-7151 to register for the class and for childcare.

The Nature Center is now registering all ages of children from 18 months old through 5th grade with distinct classes for toddlers, pre-K, elementary, and home school families. Each week, we will feature a customized theme with age appropriate learning activities and adventures developed to re-connect children with the natural world around them. At the Dunwoody Nature Center, we utilize 22 acres and four distinct habitats to allow children to explore nature in a structured environment. By combining play and learning, our classes offer children the ability to develop at their own pace where growth and knowledge comes from play in a guided environment that fosters a unique sense of accomplishment and self-awareness - and a better understand how we are a part of the larger world.
