Practicing Hope Bible Study
10am • Gym (Activities Ctr)
All adults are invited to this churchwide study hosted by United Women in Faith. ///
Practicing Hope is a curriculum exploring hope, particularly when hope seems hard to find. What does Christ teach us about hope when our backs are against the wall? What tools do we have to face these hard realities? This study’s purpose is to allow all of our communities to cultivate hope that is honest about our current conditions, hope that is restorative when everything feels urgent, and hope that is possible even when we transgress.
