And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."
- Matthew 22:37-40

A Woman Who Doesn’t Quit
Five Habits from the Book of Ruth
Author: Nicki Koziarz
Leader: Maria Dunets
Start Date: Tuesday, Sept 26 Time: 7-9 pm
Location: Church Groups Room
Description: An 8 week study from the Book of Ruth. Every woman will eventually face it: the temptation to give in and give up. But something transformative happens when a woman de- cides to persevere in the face of difficulty and pain. A woman who refuses to quit influences her world in ways she could never have imagined. Nicki Koziarz walks women through the Book of Ruth, focusing on the Moabite woman’s 5 practical habits that kept her eyes on God: Ruth ac- cepted the assignment of refinement, followed through on her commitments despite her feel- ings, remained open to the movement of God, gave others what she needed, and moved for- ward in faith.

Leader: Amy Pfeil, Maryanne Foegen
Start Date: November
Time: 6-8pm

Description: How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In these three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.
