Spiritual Enrichment
Purple Threads
Purple Threads is a women's bible study and prayer group. We meet the first and third Tuesdays of the month from September to November and January to March in room 108.
We will be continuing the second half of the video and book study series, "The Life and Ministry of the Messiah" by Ray VanderLaan. It is not necessary for you to have done the first half if you would like to join us in January, as each class is a separate lesson.
Follow Jesus' footsteps to discover the meaning of his parables in their political and geographical context. These sessions will help you better understand Jesus' life and how to model his teaching.
The Rabbi: (Gamla) Encourages Christians to rise above the culture and model Jesus' teachings.Language of Culture: (Sepphoris) Reveals why understanding the popular culture of Jesus' time is key to relating the Gospel's relevance.
Misguided Faith: (Belvoir) Champions the use of compassionate persuasion to conquer men's hearts.
Living Water: (En Gedi) Proclaims Jesus as the spiritual refreshment that will quench our thirst for eternity.
On March 16th we will present:
