Presbyterian Women Bible Study Begins September 8 at 10AM

In keeping with the stated purposes of Presbyterian Women to nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study, to support the mission of the church worldwide, to work for justice and peace; and to build an inclusive and caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA) and witnesses to the promise of God's kingdom, we begin our yearly Bible Study on September 8 at 10 AM in the Fellowship Hall. ALL are welcome.

This year we are studying the book of Revelation. Revelation certainly is one of the most difficult books of the Bible, full of mysterious symbolism. Its twenty two chapters can be intimidating, so it is important for readers to know that the message of Revelation is, most of all, one of hope. Hope is the message that has sustained countless Christians in situations of tyranny and oppression throughout the ages. The vision of hope in Revelation also speaks to us today.

The author of our 2010-2011 Bible Study, Barbara R. Rossing is a Lutheran pastor and professor of New Testament of the Lutheran School of Theology At Chicago. She is the author of The Rapture Exposed: The Message of Hope in the Book of Revelation. She has appeared in several major TV network presentations. Additionally, she has written articles and book chapters on Revelation. It would appear she has a passion for Revelation.

Members of St. Andrew PW will lead our St. Andrew Bible Study. The Bible Study guide books will be available soon in the church office and are $8.87 each.
