The New Fall Adult Faith Study

Begins September 8th Uppity Women of the Bible will be the focus of this year’s Fall Faith Study. We will be exploring 4 women of the Old Testament: Ruth, Song of Songs, Judith and Esther. Please email Pastor Renie at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , or call the church office to sign up today!

Uppity Women of the Bible is a four-volume DVD-based series featuring Hebrew Bible professor Dr. Lisa Wolfe. Combining careful scholarship with humor and fresh insights, Dr. Wolfe presents just what your group needs for lively, thoughtful discussion of Ruth, The Song of Songs, Esther and Judith.

The four volume series has 25, 10-15 minute video clips (we’ll plan to watch and discuss 2 to 3 each week). Developed for adult study groups, each session ends with discussion questions so participants can understand, debate and explore the issues raised by the stories of these often-misunderstood Biblical women.

This study is open to EVERYONE…not just women (uppity or otherwise!). There’s no charge for the study and no outside reading. If you come on Wednesday evenings you will help with one or two meals during the whole study. We are offering two different hour-long sessions each week (you only need to come to one!) to fit your schedule. We’ll meet on Sunday afternoons from 2-3pm and Wednesday evenings for dinner and study from 6:30-8:00pm. Child Care is available if you let us know before the schedule starts. This study will run from September 8th thru November 10th.
