The Ladies Bible Study group will reconvene on Wednesday 4/10/24 at 2p.m.for 1 hour. We will be studying Chosen: A Study of Esther by Donna Snow. From the cover of this Bible study: this comprehensive study provides clear biblical direction on how we also are chosen, equipped, and given God’s perfect counsel from Scripture.
These eight sessions examine Esther’s story to show that God’s hand is involved in every detail of our lives-whether or not we perceive His presence-and to teach us how to live wise, bold journeys of faith of our own. We need to be in God’s Word to discern what is from God & what is of the world. One way to do this is to do Bible study, whether in a group or doing the study by yourself. Books will be available for any of the ladies who are interested in this Bible study. If there are no books available, please let Tom Norris know this so additional copies can be ordered.

We will be meeting on the following dates to review the specified readings.

  • Week 1: 4/10/24
  • Week 2: 4/17/24
  • Week 3: 4/24/24
  • Week 4: 5/1/24
  • Week 5: 5/8/24
  • Week 6: 5/15/24
  • Week 7: 5/22/24
  • Week 8: 5/29/24

Prayerfully consider joining us in this Bible study.

Dear Ladies Aid of St. Paul Lutheran Church,

Christ is risen, Alleluia!

Our Lord Jesus has indeed conquered death and is risen from the grave. May He grant you all a blessed Easter 2024. Thank you so much for your continued support that allows me to attend Seminary. My wife and I are expecting another baby, and Tabita and Philemon can’t wait to meet their little sibling in May [God willing]. We are praying for you!

In Christ,
