Walking With Purpose
Bible Study for women
Thursday evenings
6:30 p.m.
This year at Walking with Purpose, we will work through two shorter studies. The fall study will help us become a true, dynamic disciple of Jesus Christ and is titled Passionate Discipleship. This Bible study is focused on equipping women to know Christ and to make Him known. We will study 2 Timothy verse by verse as we immerse ourselves in Paul’s last and deeply personal letter to his beloved friend and mentee, Timothy. Come learn how to live as disciples of Christ, living with Him as the center of our lives and entrusting this message to others who can pass it on as well.
Weekly group sessions for the fall will begin on Thursday, October 9 from 6:30pm-8:30pm and will run through Thursday, December 11. All meetings will be in the Parish Hall. Register at this link or email parishinfo@risenchristchurch.org for more details.

How could a stubborn and impulsive fisherman become the “rock” upon which Jesus would build his Church? Bringing together biblical accounts, historical evidence, Church teaching, classical art, and personal insights, Dr. Tim Gray gives a fresh perspective on Simon Peter that is relevant to our lives. After all, if Jesus could bring out the very best in someone like Peter, then there is hope for the rest of us.
