Women’s Studies

The Tuesday Night Women’s Bible Study will begin a new Beth Moore study on January 12th entitled "Here and Now, Then and There ". This study meets weekly at 7:00 PM at the home of Earlene Mitchell. For further information or to join the group, please contact Earlene Mitchell at 804-798-8557.

Another Tuesday night bible study is offered at the home of Tricia Dalton. For more information contact Tricia Dalton at 804-798-5318.

The Wednesday Night Bible Study for Men and Women will begin a new series on January 13th entitled "The Power of a Praying Parent”. Come and join us in the “Red Room” at 6:15PM. All are welcome!

The Wednesday Night Women’s Bible Study will begin a new Beth Moore study January 13th entitled "Living Beyong Yourself: Exploring the Fruit of the Spirit ". This study meets in Room 208 and begins at 6:00 p.m.  If you need more information or want to join the group, please call Tammy Van Gils at 798-7802. 

The Wednesday Morning Women’s Bible Study will begin a new Priscella Shirer study January 13, 2010 entitled Discerning the Voise of God ". This study will meet in Room 208 and begins at 9:30 a.m.  For more information or to order a book, please contact Peggy Shelton at 798-2008.  Childcare is provided!

*The Sunday Afternoon Women’s Bible Study will begin a new Beth Moore study on January 17th entitled "Here and Now, Then and There ". This study meets at the church in Room 208 at 4:00 PM. For further information or to join the group, please contact Diana Chappell at 883-6260.

*All Beth Moore Bible studies are interactive in nature, video driven and usually require five lessons of weekly personal preparation.  Each of the five lessons require 30 to 45 minutes to properly complete and can be viewed as a daily devotional.  Over a 10 week period, this is a considerable investment of time.  To quote Beth, “If you spend this kind of time in the word of God, I assure you, He will change your life.”
