Ladies Bible Study Isaiah communicated clearly that followers of God could trust in Him. In 7 weeks of group sessions, unpack Isaiah’s words to reveal that you can trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests. You won’t be striving harder, but instead trusting more deeply in the Faithful One who is so worthy of our utter dependence. In Him you’ll find the comfort and peace you need to sustain you. Tues. begins 1/16 at 9AM | Wed. begins 1/17 at 6PM. Nursery Available | Kids’ Jumpstart Tues AM only. Workbooks are available for pickup (suggested donation of $22).
