  • Monday Evening Women's Bible Study
    Second and Fourth Mondays
    6:30 - 8:30 pm

    The Monday Evening Women’s Bible Study has been exploring the book of Acts using a commentary that is at once easy to read and understand, and thorough in its exposition of the scripture texts and ancient Near-East culture.  Acts for Everyone by N.T. Wright includes Wright’s own translation of Acts, broken up into chewable pieces, and conversational commentary.  The book is available on Amazon, or we will find a copy for you.  It’s fast reading and easy to catch up, or you can just jump in at any point.  For more information call the church office.
