Hi there friends,
YOU ARE INVITED
To A Community Bible Study Workshop!
Naomi: A Story and Journey from Complaint to Celebration
THIS 5 WEEK BIBLE STUDY IS HOSTED BY THE VALLEJO DRIVE SDA CHURCH
Have you ever experienced a feeling of loss, grief, or abandonment so deep that it seemed that God’s promises were for everyone else but you? Naomi would understand.
Yet… God did not leave her after all, he provided a Guardian-Redeemer.
Redemption and celebration were to yet be part of her future.
Join us as we journey through the Book of Ruth.
A story of tragedy, suspense, love, matchmaking, happy endings and celebrations!

A Bit of Q & A:

This workshop is for everyone including the men in our lives. Husbands, sons, nephews, friends, etc. Truly a community workshop!
What will make this a fulfilling spiritual growth experience?
We will dive deep into the Biblical text with skills that you will be learning and practicing.
You will also experience reflecting on God’s Word with creative art expression.
Yes, it is a combination of really getting into the text and deeper focus and reflection with art expression.

No need to be an artist. Just bring your colored pencils, markers or crayons. I will be guiding you with lots of samples as you focus on the Biblical text on your special workbook page.

What others are saying,

"As many times as I had read the book of Ruth, I had always seen Ruth as the "star" of the book. Through Dr. Maria's Naomi Bible Study, though, I learned the many layers of significance in the words and actions of Naomi and discovered how they apply in my own life."

-Lisa K.


I am really looking forward to seeing you! Don’t miss out, be part of this deeply rewarding spiritual experience on 5 Sabbath afternoons….
