New Jen Hatmaker Study

No one promised the Bible would be

easy, but no one said it was supposed

to be all work and no play either.

Author Jen Hatmaker introduces a

refreshing new way to learn and laugh

while forming a deeper relationship

with God’s word.

Jen Hatmaker’s “A Modern Girl’s

Guide to Bible Study” will begin on

Wed., April 13th, at 6:30 pm in

Room 202.

Facilitator is Erin Evans. RSVP
