BIBLE FOCUS (formerlyBible Overview) Starting onJune 22, we will begin anew study of Ruth andEsther, using Chuck Misslervideos in West room ofthe Encore Center at 6:30 pm on Wednesdays.Heralded for their literaryvalue for centuries, both the

books of Ruth and Esther are filled withintrigue, romance, and action similar to that ofany modern-day screen play. Ruth is veneratedas an elegant love story while Esther is adramatic account of foiled plots and retribution.However, this is not their most rewardingfeature. God’s use of these two faithful andpivotal Old Testament women brings a newunderstanding of His faithfulness and theimportance of our faithful participation. Examinethe exemplar of the Kinsman-Redeemer andthe link between Bethlehem and the line ofDavid. Discover unique craftsmanship ofprophetic typology unrivaled anywhere inScripture. Explore the only book in the Bible inwhich the name of God or other divine title doesnot appear, unless one knows how and whereto look. Everyone is welcome.

A BIG THANK YOU TO All those who attended and made my 80th birthday party somemorable. I thank God for my church family!God Bless, Georgiann Steinkamp
