Presbyterian Women invite everyone to its fall 2024 book study, starting the morning of Thursday, October 10. The group will meet on second and fourth Thursday mornings.

This year’s book is “Tending the Wild Garden: Growing in the Fruit of the Spirit” by Eugenia Ann Gamble. This is a guide to cultivating an inward relationship with the Spirit through daily scriptures, prayer, and other spiritual practices. The author explores the true meaning behind each of the virtues in the apostle Paul’s list of “fruits of the spirit,” guiding us to discover anew what it means to be a deeply loved child of God indwelt by God’s Spirit.

Come at 9:30 a.m. for coffee and conversation, with each class held 10-11:30 a.m.

Here are the topics that will be covered:

• Thursday, October 10—”Love” and “Joy””

• Thursday, October 24—”Peace”

• Thursday, November 14—”Patience”

• no class Novenber 28

• Thursday, December 12—”Kindness”

• no class December 26

• Thursday, January 9—“Goodness”

• Thursday, January 23—”Faithfulness”

There’s no need to sign up in advance, but it is helpful for us to have enough free books for everyone. If you are interested in attending, e-mail Cathy Sapunor, PW leader.

People may participate via Zoom from home. The Zoom link will be posted the week of each class.

“In a world fixated on outward appearances, discover the joy of cultivating an inward relationship with the Spirit, where virtues like love, joy, and self-control blossom naturally.”
