2015 Lenten Bible Study  The general question will deal with the many and varied fears all of us have as we live out our lives on this earth. 
To provide a context for our discussions, we will be using Megan McKenna’s book, The Hour of the Tiger:  Facing our Fears. 
She is an internationally known author, lecturer, retreat leader and spiritual director.  Your pastor had the pleasure of hearing her speak at the Awakenings Conference in Holyoke, Massachusetts this past spring. 

The six sessions will meet on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 P.M. in the Ladies Parlor on February 10, February 17, February 24, March 10, March 17, and March 24.  

See Bill Kneebone if you would like to order the book at the cost of $15.  All are welcome to attend in what should prove to be some meaningful discussions.
