Class description:  Our current study is The Armor of God, by Priscilla Shirer.  All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you.  A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you.  The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion.  The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer’s inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.  Join us for this 7-session Bible study!
