Join Pastor Roy Beth for a study of the Book of Ruth, Wednesdays at 6 p.m. beginning August 7 . We will be studying The Book of Ruth: Gleaning Meaning for Today.  We will look at one chapter of the book per week and consider how the book might inspire us to live as faithful disciples today. Topics include recognizing the valuable role of immigrants in our community and considering how we might help families experiencing hard times. No pre-work is involved, and everyone is invited.
