All women are invited to open and lively discussions, a deep study of the Word, spiritual growth, and faith-filled female fellowship. Shannon Bream's The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak will show us that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.

Please purchase the book prior to class or plan to read the stories from the Bible. Bring your Bible, a notebook or journal, a pen, and an open and expectant heart. Please read Chapter 1 of the book and/or the biblical story of Jochebed and Miriam (Genesis 27-45 and Exodus 1-2) prior to the first class. Feel free to bring your lunch.
