Women’s Bible Study 2019-2020 - This year in Women’s Bible Study (WBS) we will be studying the Book of Acts, also known as The Acts of The Apostles. There are two primary themes in Acts: the formation of the church and the reconciliation through Christ of Jews and Gentiles. Both of these themes seem especially relevant to our lives together in this season, both as a church in transition and as a people increasingly called to lean toward a deeper understanding of reconciliation. We hope you will join us either on Wednesday evenings or Thursday mornings.
