Graceful Souls: Robin Burroughs

In March of 2015, a group of women from the Horizon Seekers class decided to start meeting

outside of our Sunday School time for a bible study. This unnamed group was an answer to

what the men had already been doing for about a year with their group, Journeymen. We

picked a book, a location and eventually a name, Graceful Souls.

The “grace” part of our name has two meanings; to emphasize our deep gratitude for the grace and love God bestows on us, and also “grace” in the action of giving thanks for food. You see, each time we meet we share a meal. From the outside looking in, it may look like the first half of our meeting is just eating and chit-chat, but it’s so much more. This is where we talk with each other about our jobs, our families, and our struggles. By the time our bible study part of the evening starts we are all close, and have even been able to start praying for the needs of our friends.
