A special summer Bible study just for women will be offered on Thursday mornings beginning July 3 through August 7.  Conversation Peace is an in-depth study that helps women discover the power of transformed speech.  This interactive study will help you improve your relationships and change negative speech habits by allowing God's Word to transform your heart.  This seven session study includes both personal daily assignments and weekly group sessions during which we will view a video presentation by Bible study teacher Mary Kassien.  Did you know that you speak an average of 48,000 words each day?  With those words you will nourish, and cleanse, warm and build up; or you will demean, devastate or destroy.  Come learn how to manage the potiential of your tongue.  Cost of the workbook is $10.00.
