Worshipful Wednesday Lenten Study Begins March 1st

Our Worshipful Wednesday Lenten Series will begin on March 1st and seek to examine the theme of “wilderness” in a range of Old and New Testament texts. Three of the lessons will be taught by Professor Emerita at Maryville College, Dr. Peggy Cowan, who will teach from the Old Testament, and Pastors Mark and Meredith will teach from the New Testament.

Dr. Peggy Cowan grew up in Bristol, Virginia and earned her B.A. in Religion from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College. She holds a Master of Arts in Theology from St. Mary’s University of San Antonio, Texas and a Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible from Vanderbilt University. She taught for twenty-two years at Maryville College before retiring in 2012. A lifelong Presbyterian, she is currently a member of New Providence in Maryville. She is married to Dr. John Cowan, and they have two grown sons and four grandchildren.

This series will begin meeting March 1st and will go for four weeks. We will not meet on March 15th for Spring Break.
