Women's Bible Study: Jeremiah

Book orders will be placed by Friday, May 2, so be sure to sign up soon!
Using Melissa's study guide alongside video sessions from Amplify, we’ll officially begin our six-week study on May 13 and May 15, journeying together through the end of June (with a break for the Memorial Day holiday).
In today’s chaotic world—where relationships strain, finances falter, and daily demands overwhelm—hope often feels out of reach. But the Book of Jeremiah reminds us that even in instability, God calls His people to intentional living and lasting hope. How do we cling to that hope? Where do we begin? Come find out with us. We can’t wait to walk this encouraging journey together!
