SUMMARY:Virtual Bible Study for Veteran Women - Arizona
DESCRIPTION:Join women Veterans from Arizona and across the United States for an encouraging eight-session virtual Bible study. We will journey through The Names of God\, a Lifeway Bible study featuring Kristi McLelland\, Caroline Saunders\, Blair Linne\, Jennifer Rothschild\, Kelly Minter\, and Elizabeth Woodson. \nFrom the opening chapters of Genesis through the final verses of Revelation\, God is known by many names\, which reveal who He is\, what He does\, and how He relates to His children. In this study\, we will examine names for the Father\, the Son\, and the Holy Spirit\, discovering the impact each of God’s names has on our relationship with Him. \nWhether you are navigating transition\, healing from the invisible wounds of service\, seeking a stronger relationship with Christ\, or longing for authentic Christian community with women who understand military life\, this study is for you. \nTogether\, we’ll spend 90 minutes each week studying God’s Word\, encouraging one another\, praying together\, and enjoying fellowship. Come discover that the more we know the names of God\, the more we know the heart of God—and who He calls us to be. \n\nAugust 9 – September 27\, 2026\nSundays 5:00 – 6:30 p.m.\nRegistration is required\nZoom link provided upon registration\nPlease purchase The Names of God book on your own: https://www.lifeway.com/en/product-family/the-names-of-god-bible-study
