Discovering Our Dignity - Study of Women of the Bible

Discovering Our Dignity - Study of Women of the Bible

Through their stories recorded in Scripture, women of the Bible reach out to touch our “present” in a tender, honest and loving way—woman to woman—with ancient wisdom, sage advice, and insights from sorrowful failures and emotional wounds.

Learn how God worked in the lives of Biblical women:

Sisters Leah and Rachel overcame jealousy when they learned that God offered all that they really needed
Abigail’s faith was so strong she didn’t despair, no matter how unpleasant life was with her husband
Deborah had been given grace by God to act as His prophet, for the good of her people
Mary the Blessed Mother’s “yes” to God—her fiat—changed everything. How else did her words and deeds influence Jesus, and vice versa?

Thursdays at 10:00am beginning October 7. Workbook is $40. Register by contacting Vicki at [email protected] or 217-522-3342.
