This amazing study brings you face to face with the long awaited Jewish Messiah, Jesus Christ.

LOVEBUILDS

LET’S GET TOGETHER!

This year’s theme, Love Builds, encompasses so much. Two simple words with amazingly great potential that is without limit and carries no boundaries. Love Builds hope, encouragement, potential, growth, trust, a relationship with God that is limitless and unending, woven into our year from September’s ‘What Love Is’ study to the grace-filled life and look at Hosea. We want to be women who are built in His love, who grow in it and in turn offer it to those around us. Join us for an amazing year with God in His Word, prayerfully living out a Love that Builds.

In Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God

lives by His Spirit.

Ephesians 2:22

Teachers: Marilyn Deming & Robin Forsyth

DAVID: SEEKING A HEART LIKE HIS by Beth Moore

King David’s honesty before God reveals we all struggle with similar things - doubts, losses, temptations, anguish. In reading God’s Word we know that those who lived in Bible times were no different. Join us on our journey to know King David, the man after God’s own heart.

Teachers: Jen Christensen & Marchelle Schafer

HOSEA: UNFAILING LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHINGby Jennifer Rothschild

The life of Hosea is a beautiful picture of God’s unchanging love for His people, even when they walked away from Him, the one who loves them most. We will gain a right view of God and of ourselves as loved, accepted, complete women in Him.

Teachers: Joy Roberts, Laurie Sheffield, Julie Widman

FALL SESSION

September 22 - November 17, 2015

WHAT LOVE IS - 1, 2, 3 Johnby Kelly Minter9 - 11am

It’s easy to see that our world has lost its way. Often what is wrong is seen as the new ‘right’. Good is thought to be bad, and light is difficult to distinguish amidst the darkness. In the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, community is offered for loneliness and rest found in the midst of busyness. We will be drawn to the Heart of God and be reassured that we can personally know the love of God’s Son, Jesus.

Teachers: Joy Roberts, Laurie Sheffield, Julie Widman
