Women

Featuring rotating topics and teachers, women gather from noon-1 p.m. Tuesdays. You can bring a bag lunch if you'd like. Here are the details on what we are studying: Esther and the Invisible Hand of God Esther was a powerful woman who rose to the top of her profession and could play "office politics" with the best. She attained incredible wealth, all achieved without advantage: No aristocratic birth, well-placed friends, financial inheritance or social prestige. In fact, she did this in spite of being born into an outcast people whose future rested on the self-serving interests of a pagan ruler. But is Esther really the lead character of the book that bears her name? Join us as we learn how the Book of Esther can guide us today when we find ourselves in situations where right and wrong are not so clearly defined and every choice we have seems to be a troubling mixture of good and bad.
