Many of us are fiction readers. Many of us are in book clubs where we read and discuss fiction and nonfiction in a group. But sometimes we may feel that with the Bible "there is nothing new under the Sun." This class will discuss specific Bible tales in book-club format. Do you like romances, historical fiction, political commentaries, biographies, stories with great epic plot, courage and drama? Then you may be surprised to find that many "stories" in the Bible are NOT the types of stories you remember from your childhood Sunday School classes! This class will read and discuss great stories, and will also focus on how OUR own stories can impact the world we live in in the same way that the stories of people in the Bible affected their real world in the time in which they lived and continued impacting people of several faiths for centuries.

This class, for women only (sorry men, we love you, but just like the beach retreat this class is only for us women) This class, led by Julie Burruss, Anne Cooper and others, will use the book "When the Glass Slipper doesn't fit" and will discuss various issues in women's live's including how our expectations and real life are sometimes very different, and where God's plans are in the midst of it.
