Great Canadian Bible Study
Every year, women from all across Canada unite in small groups for a poignant Bible study tailored specifically for this special occasion. The study is offered at no cost and delves into a woman's story from the scriptures. Additionally, we welcome participants to contribute to our designated CBM project that provides aid to disadvantaged women.
