Women, God has entrusted us with the great and mighty gift of the gospel, something too precious and life-giving to keep to
ourselves. In this six-session Bible study, Beth will encourage you to guard what God has entrusted to you, further His kingdom
by sharing Christ with others and pour into future generations just as Paul once mentored Timothy. In the journey of joy and
hardship, we need each other to stay the course and live a life of faithfulness. Must register online for childcare. Cost: $13.00 for
the first 75 to register and pay online (includes free Scripture cards); $18.00 for study book and Scripture cards after the first 75.
