Tuesday Night Women’s Bible Study

Joy can feel risky. When you've experienced pain of any kind, it can feel easier not to dream than to disappointed, or not to hope than to be left heartbroken. If you ever feel like it's safer not to embrace joy at all than to hold something that might break, you're not alone.

Please join us on Tuesday, September 16th at 5:00 (please note the time change!) as we study this 7 session Bible Study, "Daring Joy" by Nicole Zasowski. The book can be purchased for only $19.99 an

To address this issue, the Generosity Team, in collaboration with St. Louis County Foster Program, will be establishing a Foster Care Closet in Gethsemane. To support these children, we are requesting your
