Bible Study
Joshua: A Journey of Faith, written by Syrian-born president of the Near East School of Theology, Mary Mikhail. In the nine lessons of this study, we are invited to explore the challenging, sometimes heartrending book of Joshua. Pursuing such themes as leadership, the promise of land, the concept of “holy war,” and outsiders becoming insiders, we learn ultimately to find rest in the justice and mercy of God.
 
Bible study books are available through Circle leaders and at Third Wednesday Bible Study. The cost of the study guide is $6 and is paid with our pledges.

PW Statement of Purpose

Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves

  • to nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study,
  • to support the mission of the church worldwide,
  • to work for justice and peace,
  • and to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.
