Winter Sunday School
Adult Sunday School classes include:
Women's Bible Study
On January 21, Proclamation women’s studies begin a 13-week study of Ruth and Esther. Both Ruth and Esther were written during challenging times for God’s people. Together, they encourage us to trust God’s faithfulness and hesed love for His people while working ‘invisibly’ behind the scenes. All women are welcome to join our Wednesday studies, which meet from 9:15-11 a.m. or 7 – 8:30 p.m. in room 243-245. Join us as we discover how God works faithfully, powerfully, and often quietly, for the good of His people. Email info@proclamation.org for more information.
