Bible Studies Meals for New Moms |
Marin Morning Bible Study (MMBS)
Marin Morning Bible Study draws women together for weekly Bible study--not only women from this church, but women who live, work, and worship throughout the Bay Area. This gathering takes place on Thursday mornings at Marin Covenant Church from 9:30 to noon, September through May.
Marin Morning Bible Studies will begin the new year with the study of the book of Romans by NT Wright. Our world is in pain. Paul's letter to the Romans, as well as one look at our world, gives clear evidence of this. Paul makes it abundantly clear that God doesn't stand apart from the pain. Rather, he entered it through Jesus and dwells in the middle of it in the Spirit. This study presents the whole picture of a sinful world in pain and God's deep love - at work still today to reconcile that world to himself. Study God's word with other women for rich discussion, fellowship and prayer. Please join us starting Thursday, January 12th at 9:30.
