New Beth Moore Bible Study Begins February 12

Beth Moore's newest study is Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent. Join Beth in a journey that explores Psalms 120—134. As you examine these 15 Psalms — essential to worship and praise in Old Testament times — you’ll come to a place of greater intimacy with God who delights in hearing not only our praise, but our petitions as well. Themes such as unity, joy and gratitude, redemption, repentance, the power of blessings, facing ridicule, and more are explored in
detail. If you would like to participate in this seven week study, please sign up on the bulletin board or contact the church at 757.539.9182.
