Upcoming Bible Study (Hope in the Wilderness)

Summer Women’s Bible Study
Tuesdays, Jun 2 - Jul 7 9:00 a.m. & 6:30 p.m.
“Finding I Am” by Lysa TerKeurst
What is the deep cry of your heart? The ache in your soul just waiting to be fulfilled? The prayer you keep repeating without end? Jesus not only cares about this deep, spiritual wrestling, but He also wants to step in and see you through it. Join Lysa TerKeurst on the streets of Israel to explore the I AM statements of Jesus found in the Gospel of John, ultimately trading feelings of emptiness and depletion for the fullness of knowing who Jesus is in this in-depth Bible study. Sign-up today.
