Women’s Bible Study Discover Psalms: Hope When We’re Hurting

Coffee Break, a non-denominational community Bible study for women will open their spring season with a study of selected Psalms, called, “Hope when we’re hurting,” beginning on Thursday morning, April 13th. The Psalms we’ll be looking at are titled, “From Longing to Hope, From Sickness to Shelter, From Distress to Deliverance, From Desperation to Dancing, and From Sinfulness to Salvation.

The study will be in small groups at Fairlawn Church—and we offer groups for those who feel more comfortable wearing masks, as well as groups for those who prefer not to wear masks. All the study groups are physically distanced in spacious rooms. Refreshments are provided, and child care is available for infants through pre-school age.

Coffee Break is free and open to anyone in the community and is held each Thursday from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. at Fairlawn Church. Coffee Break offers women in the Blackstone Valley an opportunity to read and discuss the Bible, share questions and concerns, and develop new friendships. Each lesson is independent, so if you can’t attend every week, you won’t feel “lost.” There’s no “homework” required, and no previous Bible knowledge is necessary. Study guides and bibles are provided free of charge. Fairlawn Church is located at 305 Goldthwaite Road (off Hill Street) in Whitinsville. For directions, questions, or to get more information, call Ginette at 508-234-4806 or visit fairlawncrc.org/outreach/coffeebreak.cfm.
