Women’s Brown Bag Book Club 

Wednesdays, May 22 and 29, 6:30pm in Room 422.

Women at Glenn, have you ever read the Bible and scratched your head at the various ways that women and their roles are described? Don’t worry, you are not alone! Award winning writer and Christian blogger, Rachel Held Evans has written a whole new book all about it.  So come and put your heads together with the Revs. Jessica and Susan for the Glenn Women’s Brown Bag Book Club. You and your friends are invited to bring yourselves, Rachel Held Evans’ book, The Year of Biblical Womanhood, and your dinner—but save plenty of room for discussion about what being a woman of faith means. For more info, contact Rev. Jessica Terrell at jessicat@glennumc.org; 404-634-3936.
