Ladies, if you have not been a part of a Bible study group lately, or maybe have never been in a group study, now is a good time to jump right in! Trinity Baptist has a wonderful Women’s Bible Study program for women of all ages! At present, there are approximately 150 women who meet weekly to study God’s Word. There are seven groups who meet on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 and two groups who meet on Thursday evenings, one at 6:00 and one at 6:30. Childcare is available for the Wednesday morning sessions by reservation.

 
Recently we have studied Joy of Living’s study of Esther led by April Payne and Joy of Living’s study of James, led by Debbie Williams. Starting in January of this year, we were amazed as Jennifer Rothchild led us through the study of the little book of Amos. Who knew it packed such a punch! And, we just wrapped up our semester with a sweet five chapter look into Psalms.

 
While 150 women can sound intimidating, remember that you would be a part of a small group, usually 15-20, who would meet to go over the week’s lesson. Your group would have a facilitator that leads your discussion and a prayer assistant who communicates prayer requests and announcements to that group. Those small groups usually become a band of sisters, surrounding you in love and support. Each group has at least one social during the study, and there is even one group who goes out to eat each week! After each small group discussion, there is a large group session, led by the main teacher of the study. This can be a video by authors such as Jennifer Rothchild or Priscilla Shirer, or one of our own Bible study leaders like Debbie Williams, April Payne, or Trish Wilson.

 
I hope by now that you are jumping at the bit to join one of our groups and be a part of this sweet fellowship! This is May, so just know that our groups will not meet during the summer but are eagerly anticipating our fall startup in September. Be looking in the church bulletins or check the church website, tbck.org, for dates and study topics. Come join us on our journey!
