Family Bible Circle

Women of Pilgrim,

           In Family Bible Circle this month, we are comparing and contrasting Old Testament Laws with our freedom granted through Christ's life and death. Today we covered our roles as priests and the Sabbath in 2012. We delved into how a day of worship and reflection is relevant and necessary this day of age, even though it is no longer a law. As we finish 2012, we will continue to study Pastor Jeske's Grace Moments, Old and New.
          In 2013, we will be shifting gears. We are looking into a focused study of parenting topics, i.e. the Love and Logic series, home organization skills, or parenting books. We will follow this with our new Bible Study. We look forward to welcoming women of all ages for fellowship!

Family Bible Circle

Next Thursday, December 6th, Family Bible Circle will be starting a new Bible Study series using the Grace Moments booklet "Old and New". 

Does God have two completely different systems for dealing with people, and does He have two completely different sets of expectations and laws for human believers? Are the commandments in the Old Testament binding on people today?  How do both halves of the Bible fit together in a loving God's mission to regain his lost children? This study will help you appreciate God's presence in past millennia and help you know how you fit into his plans today.

Family Bible Circle is part of our Thursday Mornings For Moms
