Wesley Building 3rd Floor
The Women's Bible Study Class is in its 18th year with Charles Stopford as its facilitator. On September 13, 2007 we will begin a new study of the Gospel of John. The WBS class is involved in closely examining Biblical books, paying attention to the history, meaning, theology and practical application of the material. The class also carries on a twice-a-year mission project of sending "care packages" to church members attending college or in the Military service. We meet from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. every Thursday morning in the Conference Room on the 3rd floor of the Wesley Building, taking time off for holidays and the summer. Every one is welcome.
