Through Death to Birthing New Life

This past century has opened our minds and hearts to the richness of women’s contributions. As we work together, men and women, we realize we have lots to learn and contribute to each other. Scripture in our churches has been dominated by men. Most if, not all our Sunday sermons, are given by men. How much are we missing without the women’s perspective? Come join in this presentation and discussion series to see what greater richness you can find to enrich your faith life by reading scripture through the eyes of Women. We meet in TALC rm.at 7 PM.
