This fall Karen will be leading Beth Moore’s 10 week Bible study Believing God.  In Karen’s opinion, this is Beth’s best study and she has done them all.  Based on Isaiah 43:10. the study explores what it means not only “to believe in God” but “to believe Him”  This is a study in the promises of God and an examination of how you live your life based on them.  If you truly believe that God loves you, completely and wholly, how would you live out your days?  This is just one of the promises that will be examined.

The first session is on Tuesday, September 13th and the last on November 15th.  The time is 9:15-11:15AM at St John Church in Ellisville (near the corner of Clarkson and Manchester).  Childcare available but must call to register 636-394-4100.  EVERYONE welcome…especially YOU!

NEWSFLASH! Karen Tripp leads Fun Summer Bible Study

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011
It’s summertime and time for a fun, meaningful Bible Study that’s not too demanding but packs lots of punch.  That’s what’s happening at St Pauls Lutheran Church in DesPeres, MO beginning next Tuesday June 7th at 9:00AM.  We will be reading Francine Rivers classic Christian Romance Redeeming Love.

Enjoy reading this top selling Christian novel and the lively discussion of God’s ability to love us when we are the most unlovable. This is a wonderful novel by Francine Rivers based on the book of Hosea but set in the American wild west. Hosea is a deep love story of the Bible which allows us to discover ways to see the love of Christ through those we love. Topics include: Who is Hosea? What are today’s idols? Where is God in my marriage? Why are their bad guys?

Have some fun getting to know new friends and reading a book you’ll love.
