The book of Ruth is only one of two books of the Bible named after a woman. She is only one of five women named in the genealogy of Jesus found in the Gospel of Matthew. This is surprising when you realize that Ruth was a Moabite woman. Moabites were enemies of the Israelites. Yet, the story of Ruth and her mother-in-law Naomi made the final cut of books included in the Bible. In our class, we will explore their story and think about why it is important and how it speaks to our lives today.
Join Pastor Andrew’s Bible study this November to learn more about Ruth and Naomi. The class will explore how their journey of faith relates to our journeys of faith. Each class will start at 7 PM in Room 3 and will be on Zoom. See the schedule below.

Jesus was fond of asking questions, many of which cut right to the heart of what it means to be human. Why are you terrified? What do you live for? Who do you say that I am? In Questions Jesus Asked, author Magrey DeVega explores six of the most provocative questions Jesus posed to others and guides us in answering them for ourselves.
Asking these questions takes courage. Not only do they reveal what Jesus really cares about, they open a window into our hearts. We all have questions for God, but growth happens when we turn things around and ask what Jesus wants to know about us. When we dare to raise them, these questions bring us a fuller appreciation for the wisdom, power, and presence of God in our lives. Are you willing to step out in faith? Are you ready to answer the questions Jesus asked? (from book’s promotional materials)
Participants should pick up a copy of Magrey DeVega’s Questions Jesus Asked. If you would like the church to order a copy of the book for you, please contact the church office contact us. The cost of the book is $14. If the cost of the book will be a problem, please talk to Pastor Andrew. If you would like to order through the church, please let us know by Sunday, October 8th.
