Beth Moore - Here&Now...There&Then (Ladies Bible study)

Here and Now...There and Then by Beth Moore is a lecture series on the book of Revelation. Beth presents many points of view, allowing women to decide for themselves when the interpretation varies among scholars. She teaches that God is as specific about what He does reveal as He is about what He does not reveal.

Each of the 11 week/sessions is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes and the cost is $20.00 for materials.

There are 3 schedules to choose from and the times and dates are as follows; and remember that there are 11 sessions for 11 weeks total:

1. Tuesday Nights start Sept. 7th @ 6:30-8:30
2. Friday Mornings start Sept. 10th @ 9:30am-12pm
3. Wednesday Mornings start Sept. 15th @ 9:30am – 12pm

This will give you an opportunity to dig into God's Word and gain prayer support from other women that will be taking the study as well. We are excited about this study and we hope to see you there.
