Fall Ladies Bible Study - "Sermon on the Mount"
Starting Wednesday, September 4
9:30am
The FBC Ladies’ Ministry invites all women to join us for the Ladies’ Wednesday Morning Bible Study. We will be studying "Sermon on the Mount" by Jen Wilkin.
In His sweeping depiction of kingdom citizenship, Jesus utters some of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture. Most of us have only encountered the Sermon on the Mount in fragments.
What if we read them as one cohesive, well-ordered message, intended to challenge us to think differently about what it means to be a follower of Jesus?
Childcare is provided upon request.
Cost is $15.

Fall Ladies Bible Study - "Jude"
Starting Wednesday, September 4
6:00pm
The FBC Ladies’ Ministry invites all women to join us for the Ladies’ Wednesday Evening Bible Study. We will be studying "Jude" by Jackie Hill Perry.
While often overlooked, the book of Jude remains as relevant today as the time it was written. God has commanded His beloved church to do the necessary work of contending for the faith in a world of unbelief, and as we do, He will keep us from falling into the same deception.
In this 7-session study from Jackie Hill Perry, dive into themes of being called, loved, and kept, and learn how to point others to Jesus in grace and truth.
Childcare is provided upon request.
Cost is $15.
