Bible Study Opportunities
Women's Summer Study
Tuesdays, June 3, 10, 17, 24 and July 1, 9:30-11:00 am, Activity Hall
Contact: Jane Schaible
In Psalm 51:12, David prays to God, saying, “Restore to me the joy of your salvation!” We all need God to regularly renew and restore our joy by reflecting on our redemption through Christ. We will be reflecting on various aspects of salvation, including God’s calling, union with Christ, regeneration, adoption, and more. Join us this summer as we dive into the foundational and joy-producing doctrine of salvation! We’ll be using Natalie Brand’s book, Salvation, from The Good Portion series and the cost for the book is $10. Childcare is available through 5th grade with registration by May 26. You can register online now or on Sunday mornings beginning May 18.
