Ladies’ Bible Study

Joy of Living Ladies’ Bible Study invites all ladies to join us for fellowship and in-depth study in a nondenominational setting! This community Bible study is a great way to make new friends and go deeper into the Word. We meet Tuesday mornings, 10-11:45 at West Baptist Church, and childcare is provided. Our study is “The Amazing Collection,” a journey through each book of the Bible. For more information, contact Laura Ong at 834-6203.
