Women’s Fall Study
Living Beyond Yourself: Exploring the Fruit of The Spirit is an 11-week interactive women’s Bible study of the fruit of the Spirit in the book of Galatians. Starting Tuesday's, September 13 through November 22, two times are available:
9:30am-11:30am (Child care provided in the AM by participant rotation)
6:30pm-8:30pm
This Beth Moore study will walk us through each trait listed in the fruit and encourages us to know the freedom of a Spirit-filled life. We will look at the supernatural aspects of the fruit, and that we cannot grow, learn, or produce the fruit on our own. Beth challenges us to develop the fruit by maintaining an intimate relationship with the Spirit of God. A Spirit-filled life truly results in Living Beyond Yourself. The cost of the book is $17. You can sign up for the MORNING group here: https://hittheriver.com/events/womens-morning-study-living-beyond and the sign up for the EVENING group here: https://hittheriver.com/events/womens-evening-study-living-beyond. Any Questions please call Edna at 513-377-8647.
