Epic of Eden: Ruth Bible Study 

About the Study

The Women’s Tuesday Lunch Bunch will be doing a Bible Study on the book of Ruth beginning January 9th for six weeks.  This is an actual study into one of the only two books of the Bible that are named after a woman. Ruth is a story about three characters and the story of redemption.  It’s about being an outsider who becomes an insider because of a kinsman redeemer.  It also contains the genealogy of our Christ. 

This study is filmed with Dr. Sandra Richter who also wrote The Epic of Eden.  This study is geared for those who have never studied a book in the Bible in depth before but is also for those of you who have.  There is no pressure to complete homework, though there is a study guide that will help you along the way (Cost is $15).  We will order these ahead of time and have them for you on the first day of class so it is important that you register so we have an adequate number of books.  Before you come, I would suggest that you get familiar with the book of Ruth by reading through it in one setting (I know that’s not always possible with small children - so do your best).  There are only four chapters in the book of Ruth.   

For Lunch Bunch, for those that would like to eat together, we meet at noon and then begin the study around 12:20.  We never go past 2pm so mom’s can make it to the carline. We meet in the Youth Area on the West Campus (by Rite Aid). We hope that you will join us in the New Year for something a little different. This study is being led by Rev. Rebecca Rutherford.  Contact her at rebecca@spanishfortumc.org if you have any questions.

Child care available.
