Study of Scripture is an important part of our relationship with Jesus and God’s people

10:30 a.m. worship service
(September – May)
Jesus is considered a master teacher. One reason for this is his masterful used of parables that people could remember. These are stories people could identify with, and even though they were from everyday life, sometimes people did not understand the meaning.
We are beginning a study of parables in the Bible, with the intention of understanding what these parables may have meant then and today.
Feb 5: The Sower and the Soils (Matthew 13:1-23; Mark 4:1-20; Luke 8:1-15)
Feb 12: The Wheat and the Weeds (Matthew 13:24-29; 36-43)
Feb 19: The Mustard Seed (Matthew 13:31-32; Mark 4:30-33; Luke 13:18-19)
Feb 26: Jesus and Beelzebul, the Strong Man, and Good and Bad Trees (Matthew 12:22-37)
This class is held in the Digging Dunes Room.
MARTHA TO MARY WOMENS’ BIBLE STUDY
All women are invited!
We are beginning our 2025 bible study on Monday, February 3, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at the Digging Dunes room at Ascension.
Our study will be Luke by Lisa Harper. The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. Luke writes to highlight those seen as outliers and outcasts, those deemed misfits and unfit. Then he reveals to us the outrageous mercy of God.
Lisa Harper has 30+ years of church ministry and leadership. She is also the author of multiple books and bible studies. Lisa lives south of Nashville, Tennessee and is the proud mother of daughter, Missy. This is an eight week study and participant books are $10. This study has a little homework for participants each week.
We have moved our meeting time to 1:00 p.m.—2:30 p.m. (This time was preferred to our group.) We will not meet on February 24th and March 24th due to the meeting of the ELCA Saginaw Women’s Group. Our Bible Study will end on April 7, 2025.
Please contact Joyce Richardson at 989-274-6787 (call or text) to reserve your participant book.
Our Mary to Martha Women’s Bible Study is open to women of all ages, and stages of faith, members & non-members, as we seek a closer relationship with our Lord. We know that you’ll be blessed by God’s Word and fellowship with other women, and we’ll be blessed by your presence.

The Team



Saginaw, MI 48609
We believe that all people are at the same time a saint and a sinner. No matter how hard we try, we will fail to do what we are to do; and we will do things we know we should not. As a community of faith, we believe we are strengthened and encouraged by each other to live out the gospel in every aspect of our lives
