Living in Love with Jesus |
 Special Study from Women's Ministries
Monday Evenings, starting January 3, 6:30pm OR
Monday Mornings, starting January 3, 9:30am
Location: Annex
Living in Love with Jesus will help women go deeper with Jesus
by applying the secrets from John's first letter, learning to clothe
themselves in Christ's love. Instead of being a washed-out beige,
living mediocre lives, they can become radiant with the colors of love.
Using art as a literary theme throughout the book, facets of God's love
are paralleled with colors, giving women vivid pictures of how the
imprint of God's love can change their lives.
The study includes a video program featuring Brestin and Troccoli.
Materials are provided and a fee of $20 to cover costs is requested for
each participant. Pre-registration is required. Please contact Mariann
Eitzman to register by calling the church office or sending her an
email (see staff contacts page).
