If you are looking for a group of diverse thinking, multi-aged women, you found it.  This group is an energetic, thoughtful, and supportive group of women with varied faith backgrounds and life experiences.  Our goal is to grow in our faith and understanding of God, others, and self. We read a variety of books ranging from traditional bible study to more topical or thematic studies.  Class is held on Thursday mornings from 9:30 - 11:00 throughout the year.  For current books or topic please contact Pastor Jenothy or the church office.  jenothyirvine@franklingrace.org  317-736-7962.
