Women's Summer Study

Beginning Thursday, June 15 | AM & PM

The Seed of the Woman by Nana Dolce traces the gospel storyline through the narratives of women — from the garden of Eden to the times of the matriarchs, the judges, the kings, the Exile — to the birth of Christ. Through the stories of these thirty women, we find our place in the fabric of redemptive history as it unfolds to show us Jesus, the promised Seed of the Woman. Join us as we read these stories and discuss them together. Free childcare will be provided (please sign up by June 8). Books are $10 each and must be purchased through the registration form.
