The Resolution for Women follow-up

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
The first session of the TWM book study, The Resolution for Women, was Sunday, February 19th. The session was more that a review of book. It was a time to review God’s Word and His design for women. It was also a time of sharing, bonding, praising, and prayer. 

If you were unable to attend, please continue your reading. Although it is an easy ready, it is important to reflect on the points introduced.  I echo Priscilla’s words:  

“My hope is that you’ll read this book slowly and purposefully~not with the intention of finishing but of engaging with each segment.”

We will encounter 13 challenges to focus and pray to God for his help, guidance and wisdom to resolve.
Our next session is March 4th. In the mean time we will continue to engage you with postings on our blog, as well as, FaceBook.
Blessings,

Sandy Hunt
