Strength to Strength welcomed Renee Miles to discuss how God’s instruction for sisters’ headcovering compliments His design for womanhood.

There is an agreement among Christians that the verses in 1 Corinthians 11 are talking about a head covering, but this is where the agreement ends. Beyond that there is much debate and differences of opinion:

• Is it a practice for today?
• Is it an actual item to wear?
• Do we wear it all the time?
• What should a head covering look like?

The journey to discovering solid answers to the many questions and arguments in this area was a long one but worth the effort. Renee will share the experience of what she and her husband learned that led to their conviction.

An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

Sherilyn Shirk. This delightful children’s book is a full-color, beautifully illustrated treasure for young children aged 2–10. “You Are Precious in His Sight” was designed by a mother of six, and dedicated to foster children. It introduces the child to Jesus as the Creator and Designer of all things good. Further, it assures the child that the hurts they face were never God’s intention, and that their obedience to Jesus’ way will lead to happiness and fulfillment.

Bryant and Lynelle Martin interview Andrew and Sherilyn Shirk to discuss Sherilyn’s new book, “You Are Precious in His Sight.”
