Presbyterian Women Bible Study Circles
How do we find our resilience and joy in the midst of stressful life circumstances? By reconnecting our spirituality, following women in the Bible, and studying Jesus’ witness, we can discover a path that helps us fully embrace and celebrate who we are as faithful disciples. Join a Presbyterian Women Circle, which are small groups of women who gather for Bible study, fellowship, and fun. Contact Dee Couch, Circle coordinator, to get connected with the Circle that best fits your schedule and location:
