BTPC PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN

This year the Presbyterian Circle groups are using "She Did What She Could" by Elisa Morgan as our study guide. This is a wonderful discussion book directed around the lives of women in the Bible as well as opportunities to serve in our everyday life.
The groups meet on the third Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. or the third Tuesday morning at 10:00 a.m. each month. Both groups meet in Bentwood House and all women are invited to join one of these bible studies.
Marjorie Whitner is this month's lesson leader, for lesson five "What if we did what we could"
BOTH MEETINGS ARE HELD IN BENTWOOD HOUSE
