6. Ladies: Three Bible and Book Studies are being offered this summer by our Women’s Ministry. All three of these classes will not meet the week of Vacation Bible School , June 27 to July 1. The studies are:
a) When Life is Hard: Turning Trials to Gold by James MacDonald. This seven week course will meet on Wednesdays, June 8 to July 27, from 9:30-11:30 a.m., in Room 410 North. Based on James MacDonald's personal struggles during a season of trials, this study focuses on Biblical truths that provide encouragement, hope, and answers to enduring those difficult times. The course, $12 per person, will be led by Jill Willey (contact jilwilley@aol.com). For child care, please call 918-594-5028.
b) Fingerprints of God by Jennifer Rothschild. This seven week course will meet on Wednesdays, June 8 to July 27, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., in Room 410 North. This Bible study for women exposes the wonder of God’s touch upon our lives. Participants will discover that when they experience God’s touch, they will recognize six things: honor, intimacy, shelter, guidance, redemption, and refinement. The course, $11 per person, will be led by Cheryl Baber (contact Chb1999@cox.net). For child care, please call 918-594-5028.
c) Living Your Life as a Beautiful Offering by Angela Thomas. This seven week course will meet on Thursdays, June 9 to July 28, at 12 Noon, in Room 410 North. This study will encourage women to rekindle their hearts by returning their lives to God. How can an imperfect life with blemishes and scars reflect back to God a true gratefulness for His love? Jesus knows you are not perfect, but He also knows that you are made perfect in Him, if only you will come and surrender to Him daily. The course, $10 per person, will be led by Terry Moore (contact tessamoore27@hotmail.com ). No child care is available.

7. Calling all Children: Hail a taxi and join us for our VBS Big Apple Adventure, June 27 to July 1. Vacation Bible School is for all boys and girls who have completed Kindergarten through Grade 6.
