She Shall Be Called Woman
To truly understand the way the Lord views femininity is to live as one who is fully alive. In a world that often speaks in cliches and labels, God desires to reveal who He is through a greater understanding of who we are. This season will not only unpack the wealth of celebration of what Saint John Paul II called “The Feminine Genius” but will also give real advice on how to combat the mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges we, as women, face every day.
Join us Tuesdays from 10:30am - 12:00pm in JPG Hall starting September 16 for our “She Shall Be Called Woman” Meetings! Women of ALL ages are welcome!
