Women's Bible Study UPDATE We’re gathering names of women who are interested in either a Tuesday morning or evening bible study. Our daytime study begins Tuesday, October 14, from 9:30-11:00 am and continues every other week throughout the fall. We’re anticipating our evening study to begin, Tuesday, October 21, from 7 – 8:30 pm and continuing on the 1^st and 3^rd Tuesdays. These studies are open to women of all ages and stages of life who want to grow in their relationship with Jesus and His Word, no matter if you're new to bible study or mature in your faith. On your own time, you'll be asked to follow a study guide booklet, Psalms: Prayers of the Heart by Eugene Peterson and come prepared for lively study each week. We'll meet in small groups of 10-12 in homes, or at the church. Contact Marissa Gronholz (marisa@spu.edu), Lynn Beaumont (newhatdsl@msn.com) or Linda Cutshall (284.2222, ext 13; lindac@bethanypc.org) to learn more.  Childcare may be an option for Tuesday mornings if needed.

This year we are planning three gatherings for women that spring out of our women's retreat: Lord, Teach Us To Pray. We look forward to growing deeper in our relationship with God in Jesus Christ together. Those interested in Women's Ministries contact Linda Cutshall at lindac@bethanypc.org.
