Women’s Bible Study – The Book of Jude
Room 205 17 N. Court Square, Harrisonburg, VAWhy should we bother with Jude, a book so short it isn’t even broken into chapters and contains only 25 verses? Because despite its brief nature, Jude is a powerful book that helps us spot the lies around us and hold onto the truth. That’s definitely a relevant message for today! Scottish Bible commentator William Barclay said that there were times in the history of the church when Jude was possibly the most relevant book of the New Testament. Today is one of those times. Join us on Tuesdays from noon-1 p.m. as Mary Duryea facilitates our study.
