  5. Women of Hope Books & Breakfast Begins February 6th


    Join the Women of Hope for Thursday breakfast and studying Esther, a study by Kelly Minter:

    A beautiful queen, her courageous cousin, a foreign land, and a murderous adversary—the book of Esther has all the elements of an epic drama. Join us for this 7-session study, where we will look at the daring faith modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai—a faith developed over time, rooted in the goodness of God, lived out through extraordinary circumstances, and used to change the world. Although our time looks different from Esther’s, our God is just as active and faithful today, and He has called you for such a time as this.

    Date and Times: Thursdays, February 6th – March 27th (Not meeting March 20th for Spring Break) from 9:30-11:30am
