Dear Friends,
The chosen Study will be--"Bad Girls of the Bible", by  Liz Curtis Higgs. We have enjoyed her work, previously.  The tentative plan would be to start April 10th (the week after Easter).  The book has 10 chapters.  We would divide our Study into 5 sessions in the Spring.  God-willing, we would complete the other 5, in the Fall of 2021.

Spring Dates--April 10, 2021; April 24, 2021; May 8, 2021; May 22, 2021; June 5, 2021
   
Any questions, you can call me at --651-207-8387  
Blessings and love,  Joy
