WOMEN, have you missed the fellowship of a morning Bible study? Here's an opportunity you won't want to miss! Beginning Tuesday, November 6, 2012 from 10:00-11:15 a.m. or so, we will be offering a 7 week (Introduction + 6 weeks) study on "Ruth: Loss, Love & Legacy" from Kelly Minter's "The Living Room Series". This is a non-DVD study and is considerable less homework than the Beth Moore studies.   Special thanks to Shirlene Taylor for agreeing to be the facilitator of this study! Room location information forthcoming.

 

Come join us on our journey (for any or all of the study) as we "study the virtuous character of Ruth, her unique relationship with her mother-in-law Naomi, and her blossoming love with Boaz. If you've ever felt devastated, struggled as a stranger, longed to be loved, or wept along the way, you'll find a loyal sister in Ruth." For questions, feel free to call Joyce Records (242-1824 or 418-5841) or Shirlene Taylor (242-4109).
