WOMEN’S FALL BIBLE STUDY

Please join your AVPC sisters this Fall semester as we study through the book of Judges together. In the book of Judges, we will learn of the great depth of God’s love, patience, and mercy as you see it continually offered to people who do not deserve or appreciate it. The Monday studies will meet at 3:00 PM at the home of Wendy Allison. The Wednesday morning studies will meet at 9:00 AM in the Church Parlor, and the Wednesday night studies will meet at 6:00 PM at the home of Lea Anne Parker. Friday studies will meet at 1:00 PM at the home of Judy Bates. Study books are available in the Parlor for a cost of $10.00.
