FPC presents Bad Girls of the Bible Study

First Presbyterian Church in Kings Mountain presents a Bad Girls of the Bible Study, which began on February 28 and continues through April 23. The group meets from 9:30 a.m. -10:15 a.m. at the main floor Sanctuary entrance. Each week, a new figure from the Bible will be discussed.

This Bible Study is a unique opportunity to understand lessons learned from the beginning of time about good and evil, temptation, sin, and redemption. It appeals to couples, singles, men, and women with lessons learned that are eternal.

All that is required of participants is the Biblical reading in advance and enjoying the fellowship, lots of humor, and insights into our human experience with our Triune God and with ha’satan.

Participants should be prepared to read the Scripture and review the chapter in the book: “Bad Girls of the Bible” by Liz Curtis Higgs, which they recommend for purchase and discuss why this Bad Girl is bad, her circumstances, lessons learned, the bad men in her life, from a woman’s and man’s viewpoints.
