+ Women of Faith – Room 205 – 11:00
Led by Annabelle Steed, this class of women meets for fellowship, faith development, and to support one another on life’s journey. They began with a study of joy. In the fall this class will be studying “The Esteemed Journey: Discovering Your Full Worth in Christ”. Women are unique creations designed extraordinarily by God. Yet many of them underestimate themselves, devalue the impact of their purpose, belittle the merit of their passion and fail to grasp their full potential. It is only in the fullness of their worth in Jesus Christ that women can experience all that he has for them as his beloved daughters. Discovering that full worth in Christ is what The Esteemed Journey is all about. The format is open discussion.
