Ruth and Esther with Julie Cox and Carol Moore
10 Week Study: August 31 - November 30
Can trusting God change the world? Ruth and Esther would say, "Yes!" Both chose to live out their faith in ways that would play a decisively bigger role in God's bigger plan. Ruth chose to leave the familiar, face hardship, and trust God with an unknown future. Esther chose to confront the king, and trust God, even if it cost her life. Their stories will inspire you to see how God wants to use your faithful commitment to trust Him to change your world.

Perfect Love: Pursuing Intimacy with Christ through the Song of Solomon with Karla Scharfinski
**This is a special 1-hour class for 7 weeks from August 31 to October 12.**
We all want to be known and loved. Though we can experience deep relationships with others, there will always be a hole in our hearts for the perfect love of Christ. But, what does that really mean? How do we pursue intimacy with an invisible God? In seven powerful sessions, author and Bible teacher Lisa Harper walks women through the Song of Solomon to answer those questions and more. Though romance and marital love are typically associated with this book, Lisa takes a Christ-centered approach to illustrate how this ancient love story is relevant to your life and relationship with Jesus today.
