Our Wednesday Morning Women’s Study Group starts a new study on September 11th. Women of the Torah: Matriarchs and Heroes of Israel is part of Stephen J. Binz’s Ancient-Future Bible Study series.

Ancient-Future Bible Study incorporates contemporary study of the Bible with an experience of the church’s most ancient way of reading Scripture, lectio divina. This time-honored practice consists of five basic movements: biblical study (lectio), reflection (meditatio), prayer (oratio), discernment (contemplatio), and contemplative action (operatio). In six clearly written volumes, bestselling author Stephen Binz helps readers study the Bible in a way that leads to spiritual transformation and brings them closer to God.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Sue Mulvin for a book.

Our Women’s Bible Study Group meets Wednesday mornings at 9:30, beginning September 11th.

What is a Growth Group?
Growth Groups are groups of 8 to 12 adults who meet once a week to fellowship, study God’s Word, and support one another through prayer. The groups also commit to serve together in the community at least once during the semester.

Why does our Church believe Growth Groups are so important?
Our mission behind Growth Groups is to help us grow in relationships with one another and with Christ. We find these small gatherings of people to be primary in our church mission of making and growing disciples who give their lives to make a difference in the world.

Fall 2019 Growth Groups will begin meeting the week of September 8th and will meet for a total of 10-12 weeks. The semester will end the week of November 23rd.

We are taking orders for bricks to be included in the path of the Celebration Garden at Trinity Presbyterian Church.

This garden provides families the opportunity to commemorate many of life’s benchmark moments with engraved bricks that will be used in the pathway. The bricks can be engraved with three lines of text to mark all of life’s memorable events, such as:

• Welcoming a new child
• Baptism
• Graduation
• Marriage
• Anniversaries
• Remembering a loved one
• Commemorating military service

We can even include a logo on some bricks. Samples of some of the available logos are available with the order forms. Order forms are available in the church office.

Each brick costs $50 and will serve as a lasting tribute to celebrate your family’s memorable moments. Orders are due by August 25th. For more information, contact LaRue Corbin.
