The Patriarchs
Encountering the God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob
[Beth Moore]

The story of the Patriarchs is full of twists and turns, ruin and redemption, revelation and mystery. This study of Genesis 12–50 keeps participants captivated by the God who stars in it!

Throughout 10 weeks of exciting, engaging intrigue, participants will plunge into the heart of Genesis, to God’s remarkable pursuit of relationship and to the unfolding of His earthly plan: that through one nation—and ultimately, one man—all people on earth will be blessed.

Many of the most profound and enduring concepts in the whole counsel of God’s Word are initiated in this marvelous book of beginnings. Participants will explore concepts such as blessing, covenant, and promise, and the bearing each has on a New Testament believer’s life today. Group members will also explore the Hebrew names of God introduced on the early pages of Scripture.

RSVP's required for books. [$15.00 per book]

walking wednesdays
effect women meet every Wednesday morning at the Oso Creek Trail for 2.5 mile walk and prayer time. Women bring index cards with prayer requests that are passed to each other as they walk. Children are welcome if they are in a stroller.

• women's walk>Wednesday mornings @ 10AM

Meeting place is in front of the It's a Grind Coffee House at Marguerite and Estanciero at 10:00AM sharp. If you miss the start time...just catch up--they're not that fast--they're praying... The trailhead is next to the Del Taco restaurant, and parking is tight, but is available in the Trader Joe's lot a short walk away.

And for any women who have time... smoothies and coffee at "It's a Grind" right after the walk is a welcome rest. Call our ministry leader for more details.
