New Beth Moore Study Begins February 5

The Somewhere In-Between Adult Bible Fellowship will begin a new study on February 5th. “James: Mercy Triumphs” is Beth Moore’s latest video-driven Bible study. In this study, we’re shown how James, Jesus’ own brother who started out as a skeptic, is turned from an unbeliever into a disciple. In the process, we learn how to put our own faith into action.

Our study will include a DVD lesson one week followed by a discussion out of the workbook the next week. The cost of the workbook is $15. Topics in this study include: joy, hardship, faith, reversal of fortunes for rich and poor, wisdom, gifts from above, single-mindedness, the dangers of the tongue, humility, and prayer.

The Somewhere In-Between ABF is open to women of ALL ages. We meet on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. in room 345 at the BA Campus. To help us know how many books to order, please let us know that you are interested in attending this new study by signing up on Sunday’s Bulletin Communication Card. Please sign up by January 21st.
