Thursdays, September 30 - October 28: Study of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters
Let’s grow together in our understanding of the diabolical and divine strategies at play in our lives.As he's done the last two years, Dustin Adams will lead us in a 5-week study of another insightful C.S. Lewis book, The Screwtape Letters. One of his most famous works, it is "outwardly funny as well as provocative, as the devil's perspective helps us gain insight into our own morality and temptations." Click here for more background on this novel.
This time you can read the book and/or listen to John Cleese narrating the letters on YouTube. "John Cleese's performance brings The Screwtape Letters to life, conveying all the irony, comedy, and terror of this modern spiritual masterpiece." Each of the book's 31 letters is performed in 5 to 8 minutes and is an excellent way to experience the themes of this novel.
Books and study guides are available free!

Ladies' Bible Study: Every other Monday This Fall
Ladies resumed Bible study August 23 with a study of Jesus by Angie Smith, Matchless.
From the publisher:
Jesus didn’t come just to die for us. He came to live with us.Who is Jesus? Why did He come to earth? How can I know Him?
We live in a world where there’s a lot of confusion about Jesus. Too often people want to shape Him and His message to fit their personal needs or agendas. So how can we know the truth?
Join Seamless author Angie Smith in this 8-session search for truth as she unfolds the story of our matchless Savior—His mission, miracles, and message. Through her signature wit and accessible style, Angie unpacks Scripture in a way that’s easy to understand, regardless of how long you’ve been studying the Bible (a great option for new believers!). This study will deepen your understanding of Jesus through biblical, historical, and cultural insight and help you see Him less as an iconic figure and more as an intimate friend.
If you've not joined us before, we hope you'll join us through the fall on Zoom or in person at Diane's home. We meet every other Monday at 7pm. Contact us for details.
