tuesday morning study (led by bonnie vanpelt)
Current topic: a woman's heart, god's dwelling place
*this study has already started. keep watching for details on bonnie's next study.
Perhaps no Old Testament event so dramatically illustrates God's persistent desire to relate to His children as the building of the tabernacle in the wilderness and no Old Testament event so richly prefigured the coming of the true Tabernacle, Jesus Christ.

Covenant Bible Studies
The Bible is a great tool to use in our daily lives, but too often many of us only study it a few verses or possibly a few chapters at a time. The Covenant Bible Study offers a chance to study the entire Bible in a way designed to better fit in to your busy schedules.
This in-depth study is divided into three 8-week sessions that will be begin at different times during the year with breaks in between each session.
Session 1 - Creating
Session 2 - Living
Session 3 - Trusting
