Act Boldly for Mission

2007 Summer study

This three–session Bible study encourages us to "Act Boldly for Mission." Author Kelly Fryer energizes Bible study participants with her vibrant writing and deep faith. The study explores how women can boldly take part in God's mission to love and bless and save the world. To be the church, she says, is to participate in that mission by sharing the Good News about Jesus Christ in word and deed.

We encourage you to invite several people for a one–day retreat as you explore the summer Bible study.
