Women's Ministry Book Club - Ladies, our next meeting will be in January 2012.  We will be discussing A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller. The Lord is my shepherd...." The words of this famous psalm have brought comfort to many - but what impact do they have on an actual shepherd? Best selling author and shepherd Phillip Keller draws on his firsthand experience to lead and prod listeners to the greenest pastures of discovery and coolest waters of fulfillment hidden in the psalm. This lively devotional commentary will show you how to experience Psalm 23 in a new way. See with the eyes, touch with the hands, and feel with the heart of our Lord - the Great Shepherd.  Meeting details will be forthcoming or see Lynette Yancey, Shelley Nurse, or Vanessa Hooks.
