Bible Studies

Women's Ministries offers Bible Studies for women throughout the year from various Bible teachers such as Beth Moore and others.   

ESTHER BIBLE STUDY - Starts June 1, 2010

**REGISTRATION CLOSED - STUDY FULL**

Esther: It's Tough Being a Woman
from Beth Moore
Tuesdays Beginning June 1
7:00-9:00PM • Valley Brook Office
Cost: $16.50 (for study guide)

We'll explore the Old Testament book of Esther in this new study from Beth Moore:

Join Beth in a very personal examination of the Old Testament story of Esther as she peels back the layers of history and shows how very contemporary and applicable the story is to our lives today. If you've ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the Bible study for you. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther's day, it's tough today. This portion of God's Word contains treasures to aid us in our hurried, harried, and pressured lives.
