Woman's Bible Study
Every Monday | 9:30am - 11:30am | Fireside Lounge We will be using the bible study Truthfilled: The Practice of Preaching to Yourself Through Every Season by Ruth Chou Simons. This is a weekly bible study. About the study: Many of us want God’s Word to dwell richly in us, but life can get in the way. Join Ruth Chou Simons in this 7-session study of the Book of Colossians as she leads us through a practice of preaching gospel truth to ourselves by studying Paul’s example. In every changing season of life, we can rest in God’s character, rehearse our identity in Christ, respond in faith, and remember God’s provision for us. In today’s culture, there’s no shortage of self help, easy fixes, and worldly advice, but only the truth of God’s Word was meant to fill you up and satisfy you fully. For questions, please contact Lori Nelson. |

Women On A Journey
Every Tuesday | 6:30pm in the Peace Library
Women on a Journey (WOJ) Small Group will be starting a new Bible study on Tuesday, October 11 and we would like to extend an invitation to the ladies of Peace to join us. The new Bible study is entitled: “Fascinating Bible Studies on Every Parable” by Dr. William H. Marty.
Google Books describes this study as: “A Change of Pace for Your Bible Study. Jesus knew the power of stories to touch people's hearts, so he used parables to teach his followers about the kingdom of God. If you want to know God better, the parables are a great place to start. This book provides short studies on every parable in the Bible.”
We will be meeting from 6:30-8 p.m. in Peace's Library. Each week we will be selecting one to two different parables to study.
If you are interested in attending or learning more, contact Debbie Moore at dmoore1cps@gmail.com or 614-736-3414.
