The Star Circle
meets on Wednesday evenings, in conjunction with the Wednesday Night Fellowship Dinner and Programs.
Star Circle Begins The Prodigal God Bible Study 1/13
All women of the church are invited to join Star Circle on Wednesday evenings in the Library, 6:30-7:30, for a 7 week study on The Prodigal God, Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith, by Timothy Keller, Senior Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. Newsweek called Timothy Keller “a C. S. Lewis for the twenty-first century.” We will watch the introductory DVD Wednesday, 1/13, discuss it the next week, 1/21. The following 5 weeks there will be a brief 3-5 minute DVD viewing followed by discussion.
Renowned minister and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller illuminates the central Christian Message of hope and salvation with one of the most powerful yet most misunderstood parables of the Bible. “This book will challenge both the devout and the skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.” Please come join us for this enlightening study!
