Women's Study: The Richness of the Shorter Catechism
The Westminster Shorter Catechism is rich with Scriptural wisdom, pastoral counsel and spiritual benefit. What is the practical value of such an old church resource? Is it outdated or is it a treasure trove of wisdom that can be useful in raising Godly children in a fallen world. Is there any real application found in a centuries old catechism when the rubber meets the road.

What does it really mean to "glorify God and enjoy Him forever"? Come and find great fellowship, encouragement and truth that you can take home and apply.
