Women’s Advent Bible Study

Self Care for Women

November 27th – December 18th on Mondays at 4pm

Self Care for Women Advent Bible Study will held on Mondays at 4:00 pm beginning November 27 through December 18 at the home of Patti Mills. The Bible study will led by Patti Mills, Michelle Parker-Clark, and Rosie Wece. Each chapter of the study – entitled fully human, fully divine by Whitney Simpson – covers one week of Advent and each week focuses on one of the following themes: Slow Down and Hope, Simplify for Peace, Sit with Joy, and Savor God’s Love. Within each week are a rotation of daily practices including breath prayer, mindful movement, lectio divina, visio divina (which utilizes beautiful colorful works of art each week), Christian meditation, creative contemplation, and practicing presence. With this study we want to help you work toward a less stressed filled and more meaningful season of Advent. Please contact Michelle Parker-Clark as soon as possible with questions, or to make a request for a book to be ordered if you plan to attend the study.
