Women's Bible Study of Ruth Begins Tonight...

Women's Bible Study | 5:30–6:30 p.m. Mondays | Sunday School Room

Join us this Monday as we take a deeper look at the book of Ruth.

A model of faithfulness and perseverance, Ruth is revered throughout history as an example of Biblical womanhood.

This is a just show up Bible study—there's no reading ahead or homework required, and you do not have to come every week to participate.

Schedule
4/20: Introduction
4/27: Ruth 1
5/4: Ruth 2
5/11: Ruth 3
5/18: Ruth 4
