Day: Sunday Study: Giddy Up Eunice, by Sophie Hudson (For Women Only) Facilitator: Cathy Clawson Location: CUMC Room 214 Time: 4:00 – 5:30 PM Cost: $10.00 Description: It’s easy for women to focus on what seems to separate us: differences in age, parenting styles, career goals, or maybe even core beliefs about whether leggings can adequately serve as pants (the struggle is real, y’all). The reality, though, is that we have far more in common than we realize, and since Scripture shows us the blessing of friendships across generations, it’s high time we step out of our same-age, same-stage silos. Life is so much better that way. Giddy Up Eunice provides winsome insight into the relationships between Mary & Elizabeth, Ruth & Naomi, and Lois & Eunice. *Our WAVE student ministry will offer activities at church for children ages 4 through 4th grade from 4:00 – 5:30 on Sunday evenings.
