The fall season is approaching and September is the month PW Circles begin their monthly meetings. The 2007-2008 study book, Above and Beyond: Hearing God’s Call in Jonah and Ruth, will be used by the Morning and Afternoon Circles.
The title of Lesson One is Reading Jonah and Ruth For All They’re Worth. Most of us wouldn’t think of studying the books of Jonah and Ruth together; at first glance, they may seem like an “odd couple.”
Before your Circle meets in September, you are challenged to read the books of Jonah and Ruth (both are very short).
As we study these books, we will discover three common themes:
· Both bear witness to a God whose love will not let us go.
· Both suggest that God’s mind may be broader than our own,
· Both call us to a deeper commitment of faith.
This study invites us to listen for God’s call - may we all hear and say “yes” to the call!
