WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
Morning: 9:30-11 a.m.Evening: 6:45-8:15 p.m. *fall break on October 19
This fall, we’ll study the Book of Deuteronomy. Through this last book of the Pentateuch, we see the unfolding story of redemption as God chooses a people to set apart for his specific purposes. We’ll look at this Old Testament book through a New Testament lens, seeking to better understand God’s revelation of himself and what this means for us today.
Next spring, we look forward to diving into Luke’s Gospel and seeing the compassion of Christ revealed. We anticipate a joyful and fruitful journey together this year. To register, visit our website.

GRIEFSHARE
Despite it being part of life, death is never easy. It hurts to lose someone, and it may be hard to feel optimistic about the future. GriefShare is a 13-week class which features video seminars with experts, focused group discussions and personal study and reflection that can help you face your challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.
GriefShare meets in Commons Hall (location has changed) on Mondays at 7-8:30 p.m. You are welcome to begin attending GriefShare on any week. Each session is “self-contained,” so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin. For more information, contact Christy at griefshare@ college-church.org, or register using the QR code.
