Please bring a Bible as well. Through prayer, conversation, and thoughtful study, we will explore the faith of these women, their responses to Jesus, how their society shaped and challenged their responses, and the meaning of discipleship through their lives. Although this study primarily focuses on women, men are always welcome! Call Lisa Pierson in the parish office 419-865-2345 to register.
