The exciting study of Esther: It's Tough Being a Woman by Beth Moore begins Thursday, Sept. 17, from 10:00 a.m. to noon in the McDonald Conference Room. The study will run for nine weeks.

The Old Testament story of Esther is a profile in courage and contains many modern parallels for today's woman. Esther's destiny can be yours as you know more deeply the God who is in your corner.

There is a book cost; please check with Judy Grieve for details. Reservations appreciated but not required. Ester Brockman and Judy Grieve will co-facilitate the study using the video and book.

Free childcare is available.

Bible Study: John 3:16 by Max Lucado, begins Sept. 16

The Wondrous Wednesday Adult Bible Study is John 3:16 by Max Lucado.

The verse is an alphabet of grace, a table of contents to the Christian hope, each word a safe-deposit box of jewels. Read it again, slowly and aloud, and note the word that snatches your attention:

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The study will last 10-12 weeks. There is a book and an accompanying video that supports the weekly lessons. Book fee is $8; books are available in the CE office. Reservations are preferred but not required. Please use the event registration form on the website or see Judy Grieve.

The class will meet Wednesdays beginning Sept. 16 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the McDonald Conference Room.
