Join us for Summer Worship on Wednesday (WOW). This particular service is intended to highlight two of our five goals:
This year’s theme is “Bad Girls of the Bible.” Each week we will tell the story of women who for one reason or another have been considered or portrayed throughout history as “bad.”
Barbara J. Essex, author of a book by the title Bad Girls of the Bible has written,”Their stories tell us about courage, determination, independence and boldness. Their stories tell us about woman who make the best choices they can with the knowledge and resources they have. Their stories tell us about women who are not so very different from ourselves. As we question these women about their identities, motives and assumptions, I hope we, too, female and male, are moved, compelled, and motivated to explore our own lives and stories.”
Join us for a “wow” experience with Bad Girls of the Bible on Wednesday evenings during the summer at 6:30pm in the Great Hall.
