First Baptist Church’s Lenten Book Study will begin Feb. 24, discussing “Embracing the Uncertain” by Magrey R. deVega. It is described as a Bible study for unsteady times. The book study will be led by the Rev. Peg Lewis and held on Tuesdays, from 1 to 2 p.m., in the parlor, through March 24.
From the book notes: “In ‘Embracing the Uncertain, Magrey deVega invites readers to engage and wrestle with life’s uncerainties, not ignore them. The six chapters focus on six post-Transfiguration, pre-Passion stories in the Gospels. Each of these stories is a signpost in the Gospel narrative, pointing down at a world filled with uncertainty but also pointing us forward to a cross that can show us how to follow Jesus with courage, hope, and obedience. ‘Embracing the Uncertain’ helps you dig deep into your faith and face life’s challenges with a renewed sense of purpose.”
