UMW Bible Study

Joy: A Study of Philippians by Deb Burma
Discover the true meaning of joy—even in trials. Real, genuine joy is always found in the saving grace of Christ Jesus.
Join us as we delve into Paul’s Letter to the Philippians, often referred to as the “letter of joy.” This study unpacks themes of contentment, confidence, humility, and hope—all rooted in Christ and designed to infuse joy into both our mountaintop moments and the mundane.
When: Tuesdays at 12:00 PM
Where: In person at Wesley Lounge or via Zoom
Dates: January 28 – March 4 and April 22 – April 29
Books are available for $15.
