Annual Women’s Spring Luncheon Slated

Women and girls are invited to a luncheon at Boise Friends Church on Saturday, March 7th at 11 a.m. Friends churches from the Treasure Valley will be meeting together for the annual spring lunch which will host Dr. Samuel Retnaraj and his wife Priscilla. The Retnarajes are missionaries from India serving with Evangelical Friends Mission in Nepal. Three years ago they were in our church and met many people at that time. Their work is primarily a medical mission work that not only helps meet critical medical needs in remote areas of Nepal, but also takes the message of Jesus Christ with them as they go.

Faith Lessons
Filmed on location in Israel, these videos bring God’s Word to life with astounding relevance for modern believers.  One way for us to know Jesus—and thus God the Father and the Holy Spirit—more intimately, is to carefully assess our 21st-century culture and Western attitudes in relation to and in light of the 1st-century world of Jesus. Immersing ourselves in the culture of Scripture and Jesus of Nazareth often brings additional insights to our understanding of the text.  Each video section is followed by discussion questions.  Class facilitators are Aaron Hutchings and Brad Tricola.  Aaron, who also lived in Israel, shares his own passion for Jesus and the land where He lived.
