1-minute Story of Faith:  September 21

Women of the Bible told through Stained Glass Windows: 8 sessions
This fall, we invite you to join us as we celebrate our new stained-glass windows, each honoring one of eight remarkable women from the Bible. On select Sundays, we will gather for a Bible Study at 9:00 am in the library on one featured woman, paired with the unveiling of that window’s design. In the week that follows, you’ll receive an email with the electronic design and a five-minute podcast retelling her story.

​

Each session will offer two perspectives:

​

• Scripture: a Bible study on the life and witness of the featured woman.

• Artistry: a reflection on the beauty and meaning of the stained glass design.

​

The windows will be installed in mid-December.

​
