    The Epic of Eden: Psalms (Women’s Study)
    Thursday Mornings, Oct. 14 – Dec. 9 | 9:30 to 11 a.m.
    Dr. Sandra L. Richter brings our ancestors in faith to the table, where we learn from them in a cross-cultural experience by bridging historical and modern day life. This eight-session study of the Book of Psalms masterfully mixes scholarly and practical teaching through the most-known wisdom book of the Bible.

    The key messages of this study include: what the Book of Psalms is (the hymnbook of ancient Israel), how it was utilized in Israelite worship (the various “forms” of the Psalms), and why the Book of Psalms remains critical to our devotional lives today. Sandra also dives into the concrete realities of Israelite worship (the tabernacle, temple, priesthood, and sacrifice) as well as Israel’s theology of worship wrapped up in their theocratic world view.

    Join Rev. Joy Roberson as we journey through this study on Thursday mornings. Please purchase the study guide on your own.

    New to WC? Been here for a while and looking for new connections? Welcome!

    Wonderful Wednesdays with Women is a community of women dedicated to God and one another. The group gathers to pray, learn, worship, and have fun!

    This fall, group members will reacquaint themselves with one another and with WC as they welcome invited guests from within the community to share stories of their faith and life. The group will meet new pastors, hear from congregational and community leaders, and connect with one another.

    Whether it’s a light-hearted exchange, in-depth Bible study, or a topic relevant to today’s challenges and lifestyles, we come together to explore what it means to live out our Christian faith and what it means to live in community.

    Wonderful Wednesdays, facilitated by Rev. Kristin Warthen, is also a great place to make new friends while deepening long-standing relationships. All participants are invited to bring their own snacks or brunch items, if they would like to snack. Coffee, tea and water will be available for participants.

    Jesus & Women by Kristi McLelland
    Women’s Bible Study
    Begins Aug. 26 | 9:30 a.m. | Room 3204
    Imagine walking the dusty roads of Galilee with Jesus of Nazareth — braving jostling crowds just to touch the edge of His cloak and hear Him say, "Take heart, daughter, your faith has healed you." Those words, once meant to comfort a hurting woman’s soul thousands of years ago, were also meant for you.

    Watch biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland on those dusty roads as she transports you back to Jesus' world, stepping into the footsteps of the women who came face to face with the living God. Over seven sessions, examine the historical and cultural climate of first-century Middle Eastern society to not only understand Jesus more deeply but to also fuel your worship of Him today.

    Join facilitator Val Reed for this seven-week journey. Please purchase the study guide on your own.​
    “How Much More” by Lisa Harper
    Begins Sept. 1 | 6 to 7 p.m. | 2235
    Maybe your head knows that God is always good, but your heart’s not so sure. Or perhaps while reading Scripture, you’ve wondered if our Creator and Redeemer went through a personality change—from strictly enforcing the rules in the Old Testament to loving the outcast in the New. In this seven-session Bible study by Lisa Harper, you’ll discover divine love in the often overlooked and misunderstood passages. And you’ll be delighted to find that Jehovah of the Old Testament is the same redemptive and compassionate God we see through Jesus Christ in the New Testament. He has always been and will always be for us!
    Join facilitator Kara Hayter on Wednesday evenings for this insightful study. Participants will need to purchase the study guide before the first meeting.

This is a six-week video study with a study guide and book. Join Rev. Joy Roberson as we journey through this study. The group will meet on Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Please purchase the study guide and book on your own.
