SUMMARY:Adult SS: Esther Series Begins
DESCRIPTION:Esther: God’s Sovereignty & Human Responsibility\nMarch 5 – May 10\nTaught by: Stephen Bell \nHillel the Elder\, the 1st century BC rabbi who significantly contributed to the formation of the Jewish Mishnah and Talmud\, famously remarked that “whosoever saves a life\, it is as though he had saved the entire world.” Although the name of God never appears in the Book of Esther\, His saving presence is powerfully at work through the actions of his servants\, Esther and Mordecai\, who respond to God’s call and are used by Him “for such a time as this” to rescue His people from destruction. In so doing\, they powerfully prefigure Christ’s unwavering obedience to God’s will and costly deliverance of His people.

SUMMARY:Women's Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Blue Ridge Women’s Retreat\n\nCome join us for a weekend (Thursday evening-Saturday) full of encouragement\, fellowship\, fun\, and great teaching at Rockbridge Alum Springs Camp in Goshen\, VA. \nMercy Women will be registering together as a group to attend this Presbytery-wide women’s retreat. \nClick here to register by February 9. \n\n\n  \n__\nWeekend Theme: Reviving Our Souls: Learning from the Skies and Scriptures \nWe all long for peace.

Together\, we’ll reflect on how the Lord is revealed through the world around us\, through His Word before us\, and how these revelations draw us into deeper worship and lasting joy in Him. \nWeekend Teaching Outline:\nLesson 1: Introduction/Devotional\nLesson 2: God Reveals Himself in His World\nLesson 3: God Reveals Himself in His Word\nLesson 4: God Reveals Himself in His Worshippers \n  \n\nOur Speaker: Becky Kiern\nBecky enjoys exploring how the good news of God’s grace impacts every aspect of our lives. She is a graduate of Covenant Theological Seminary (2011)\, the author of several books\, and a practicing RN\, specializing in the care of adult cardiac surgery patients. She is currently a doctoral student at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and resides in Nashville TN.\nhttps://www.beckykiern.com/ \n  \nActivities: Climbing wall\, ropes course\, fire pits\, coffee shop\, rocking chairs\, and more.

SUMMARY:Adult SS: Ten Commandments Series Begins
DESCRIPTION:The Ten Commandments\nSept. 14 – Oct. 19\nTaught by: Christopher Miller \nJoin us for our first study of the year. Through our Ten Commandments study\, we’ll consider the importance of a Law in becoming a “People.” We will do this by taking a look at the most-well known Laws in the Bible to see what kind of people God wants His People to be. Each commandment shows the way that God wants His People to relate to Himself\, to each other\, and to the World to establish them as a People.
