Women's Evening Bible Study

 

Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted by Priscilla Shrier

Wednesdays September 22 - Nov 3, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

What do we do when God interrupts our lives?  Many times, like Jonah, we run! 

In this 7-session Bible study, Priscilla redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God's invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams.  When Johan was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city.  Cost for the book is $13.00. Contact Cheri Almquist to register e-mail
