PW Women’s Ministry Summer Bible Study Opportunity!

admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:43:00 +0000

PW Women’s Ministry offers a Summer Bible Study Opportunity! Please make plans to join us this summer as we study the Patriarchs: Encountering the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This is a Beth Moore study that many women in our church have already participated in but it is so good, we want to do it again! This 10 week study of Genesis 12-50 provides such a strong foundation for future studies in both the Old and New Testaments and really brings the Bible to life allowing us to grow a relationship with the Fathers of our Faith. We invite all women in our church, including the gals in our youth program, to join our study this summer. We will meet in the parlor Tuesday evenings from 6-7:30 beginning June 12 until August 14. Childcare will be provided by the church for those in need. We will be ordering workbooks soon, so please contact Peggy Johnson at pjohnson@ms.metrocast.net or Orly Hardin at obh2@msstate.edu to reserve a copy or for any questions.

Dr. Sloop will preach at both services on Sunday and then will speak Sunday through Wednesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. A meal will be served at 5:30 each night at a cost of $6 except Sunday, which will be a covered dish supper.

Our current sermon series is from the book of Galatians, which is often known as the “Epistle of Freedom.” For thirteen weeks, we are taking a close look at how the Gospel gives us freedom from the many burdens and fears we so often carry around with us.

Our schedule for the next few weeks is as follows: May 20: Gal. 6:1-10; May 27: Gal. 5:16-26.

As Vacation Bible School gets closer and closer we are excited to say that we will begin pre-registration today and continue until VBS starts! There are multiple ways to register your child or grandchild for this year’s VBS. Clay will be at a table outside the sanctuary after both the 8:30 and 11:00 services where you can sign up your children. All of the kids in the childcare program and any involved in Sunday School will have them passed out in their classes. Also, the form will be online on our website (fpcstarkville.org) and you can print them out and get them back to Clay. There is no deadline to when you can register for VBS but the t-shirt deadline is Wednesday, May 23, so try to get the form in before then if you want a shirt.
