Women of the WORD Romans 8, Fall of '13

                                     Class Begins 9/9/13
                              "More Than Conquerors"
                     Carmel Baptist Church, Matthews

This fall we will unpack Romans chapter 8, called by some saints of the past, "the greatest chapter ever written." In it we will plumb the depths of the Father's love for us in Christ; "He who didn't spare His own Son for us, but gave Him up, will He not also with Him FREELY give us all things?" and we'll learn how rich is our inheritance in the Holy Spirit, the very Spirit who cries "Abba, Father" within us during times of trial and longing. Learn to walk in the power of WHO YOU ARE in Christ!
Registration opens 8/4/13 at carmelbaptist.org/calendar & click on Aug 4, Women's Fall Bible Studies, then ROMANS :)
They're asking ALL regulars to register by 8/26, so don't delay!

YOU MAY BRING FRIENDS 9/9 the First Evening only, so make a point of it!  7 p.m. at Carmel Baptist, Matthews.
