Women’s Fall Book Club (2024)

Wisdom from Women In Scripture

Wisdom from Women in Scripture will help women focus on holiness by embracing the words of wisdom from six women of WINE who, through Scripture and stories, lead you on a journey with six women in Sacred Scripture.

Our book club will be held at St. Aloysius Parish Hall from October 24 – December 5 from 9:00 am — 10:30 am (2024). We won’t be meeting on Thanksgiving.

Each week you will best prepared if you read the chapter assigned for that week and do the reflection questions before we meet. We begin with a prayer from the reflection journal that accompanies each book. We share some of our favorite quotes and reflections and then go into a guided question and answer discussion. You can share as much or as little as you would like, but either way your relationship with our Lord will be stronger by the end of this book!

Cost is $20 per person, but don’t let that stop you from coming. We have some generous souls who will sponsor your book bundle, just let me know some assistance might be helpful.

The books are ordered together to save money, so please call Tracey if you would like to join by October 6. (For contact info, please see the bulletin of September 8, 2024.)
