Women's Bible Study| Thursday, 9:00am |Fellowship Hall
We will begin a NEW study by Lisa Harper - Song of Songs: The Love We Long For. Join us and discover the divine love story written for us, the beautifully intimate bond we can enjoy with God. In this 7-session study, Bible teacher Lisa Harper unveils an eye-opening truth: This ancient, often-misunderstood book that sometimes reads like a racy romance novel is actually a passionate declaration of our Creator Redeemer's relentless love for His people. With her signature blend of humor and deep biblical insight, Lisa peels back the layers of history and allegory to reveal Jesus as the Divine Bridegroom who didn't just come to deliver us—He delights in us! Workbooks are $15.00. Sign up in the narthex, newcomers please call the church office to register.
