Intro Session - Email

It was lovely to meet so many of you at Wednesday's kick off of the Esther/It's Tough Being a Woman study! I know we had several who were unable to make it to the first night due to family, work, illness etc. You were missed and I can't wait to see you next Wednesday!

Listed below is the link to watch on-line any of the sessions you might miss during the Spring session. The cost is approximately $3.99 to $4.99. I believe once you purchase a session you have 48 hours to watch it. The link is as follows:

Okay, how are you doing with homework? This week is laying the foundation and history of the book of Esther. So, hang in there as you will see the importance in being able to understand the whole Megillah! Oh, I couldn't resist using it!

The class blog site www.estherpalmvalley.blogspot.com is updated with the fill-ins to the intro session.

On a serious note, I want to ask for prayer for a dear family, the Locke's, who lost a family member unfortunately to a terrible tragedy in which another family was impacted as well. The Locke's are precious people and are hurting deeply tonight! The two people who passed away had been attending Palm Valley for about 5 months in which I praise God that they heard the gospel. Life is hard and can be life altering without a moments notice. I am very grateful for my God who is a refuge in trouble and that he cares for those of us who trust in Him. But, please lift up the Locke's before the Lord and ask that God would be able to bring them through this tragedy to a saving knowledge of Him.

God bless you in the study of His word and your quiet time in pursuit of life changing knowledge and understanding!
