New! Early Morning Bible Study for Women
Wednesdays, Feb. 27, March 26, April 9 & 23, May 14 & 28
7-8 a.m. – Caribou Coffee in Stillwater
Have you ever heard of Junia? She has the distinction of being the only woman in the New Testament who is actually called an apostle. For hundreds of years translators of the Bible have obscured her existence by changing her name to a man’s name (believing, as they did, that a woman could not have been an apostle). Come meet Junia and other female leaders of the early church as we study Paul’s letter to the Romans and read The Lost Apostle: Searching for the Truth about Junia by award-winning journalist Rena Pederson. If you are interested in joining this study, please email Pastor Siri Erickson.
