First Baptist to lead a women’s Bible study
LODI — Women in Lodi are invited to participate in a Bible study on “The Fruit of the Spirit.” In a series of Bible studies by bestselling author Robert Strand, participants will learn about themselves, how they relate to others, and gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be in Christ.
Study sessions will be held from 10 a.m. to noon every Monday beginning August 15 in Room 6 of First Baptist Church of Lodi, 267 N. Mills Ave., Lodi. For more information, call Betty Smith at 209-365-7516.
