Women's Bible Studies
James 1:21 …welcome with meekness the implanted word that has the power to save your souls.
Women's Ministries Bible Studies touch the lives of women of all ages and stages of their spiritual growth. Those new to the scriptures and those already on their journey share questions, insights and prayers as they grow together into a community of faith, understanding and love.
Sisters: A Small Group Study for Women
Sisters is a series of Bible studies produced especially for women by the United Methodist Publishing House. This open-ended series of studies invites women to delve into the Bible with a curriculum and setting that provides an opportunity for discussion and the formation of relationships with other women. Each study is authored by a woman of faith with an accompanying video and workbook and is approximately six to eight weeks in length. Materials will be provided for new groups who are interested in organizing. The present Sisters groups have completed the Sisters series and are using a variety of contemporary study guides for women, such as "The Secret Life of Bees" and "Serious Answers to Hard Questions." These groups meet on Monday or Tuesday nights from 6:30 p.m. to -8:00 p.m. in the Fall and Spring.
Join the Monday Night Sisters Bible Study Group in their study of the ancient Psalmists using study materials from the Wesley Ministry Network. This sixteen-week study begins January 14 at 6:30 in the Chapel Parlor. If you are interested in this small group study, prayer and fellowship please contact Cindy at 713-669-9060.
Women at the Well
Our Women at the Well study meets each Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. during the Fall and Spring (no meetings in the summer). The curriculum chosen each year involves a study workbook, instructional video and discussion led by a facilitator. Many women bring their lunches to find time in their busy weekday schedules for Bible Study. This welcoming group encourages open discussion, sharing, devotionals and fellowship.
On Monday, January 28, The Women At The Well Bible Study Group will begin a 12 week study of Daniel utilizing Beth Moore's "Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy". Just as Daniel faced pressures to compromise his faith so do we, but we can learn how to live with integrity. Please join us in R23 for study, discussion, prayer and fellowship, For more information contact Cindy at 713-669-9060
