Women’s Tuesday Morning Bible Study

Isaiah: Striving Less and Trusting God More by Melissa Spoelstra

Starting Tuesday, January 24^th at 9:30am in the Media Center

You are invited to attend a 7-session Bible study of the book of Isaiah where Melissa says, “We can learn to rest in God’s promises and grow in trust. We can discover a life-changing truth: Following God isn’t about striving; it’s about trusting God more. Isaiah teaches us that followers of God can trust His Character, Calendar, Comfort, Commands, Correction and His Coming Again. Hanging out with Isaiah will be like filling a trust prescription with amazing side effects of hope and peace.”

The study will last 7 weeks ending on Tuesday, March 7^th. Workbooks are $22 each. Limited Seating Capacity

If you are interested in attending this Bible study facilitated by Debbie Carmichael and Polly LaPrade, please contact Cynthia Reddick at 336-884-2204 so that a workbook can be ordered for you.
