Come here from speakers like Jennie Allen, Matt Chandler, Francis Chan, Christine Caine and more. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

When You Pray- Women’s Bible Study: Prayer is a gift- an invitation to talk to God. In this 7 session Bible study we will:

• Explore the different types of prayer modeled in Scripture.

• Understand how prayer unites believers to God and to one another.

• Learn how to overcome struggles that keep you from talking to God.

Women’s Bible Study meets on Wednesdays from 9:30-11:30am, beginning January 14. Childcare is provided. Register to attend at https://thebridgealton.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3365901
