What is your favorite Bible study? Recently, during a leadership training meeting, several ladies answered this question.  With so many wonderful authors, speakers, books and topics, it was difficult to narrow it down to just one.  So many studies have been richly meaningful in different ways to different ladies.  After giving it some thought since that meeting, I would like to change my answer. My favorite Bible study is “the next one.”  

 

Women’s Bible Study (WBS) at Trinity has a rich  history of reaching women in our community.  Studies have varied through the years, but the focus on learning and growing together has not. With much prayer and planning, a core team of ladies selects which study we will do together, typically a year in advance.  Laying personal preferences aside, they truly seek the Lord for what He would have us study together.  As long as the Word of God and hearts are open, each “next” study provides the opportunity to learn and understand more. And, in knowing more, taking next steps to apply God’s truth to our daily actions. 

 

So what is the next one for WBS?  We just wrapped up studying the Book of John as well as The End Times.  Coming up next is our summer series on Jude: Contend Earnestly for the Faith by Debbie  Taylor Williams. This 3-week study meets on Wednesday mornings and Thursday evenings, beginning July 10^th.  Registration and details are available on the church website. Next, will be our fall study on Elijah:  Faith & Fire by Priscilla Shirer, followed by a  focus on Gratitude:  Giving Thanks to God in All Things leading up to the holiday  season. There is a place for you, and you are invited. We’d love to have you join us for the next one!
