Women's Bible Study

NEW! Women’s 6-week Bible Study beginning Thursday morning September 10th at 9:00am in New Fellowship Hall (**Please note new location):  The Names of God by Melissa Spoelstra.

Sometimes God feels so far away and it can be hard to make sense of the injustice and suffering in the world.  Other times His instructions in Scripture seem confusing to us and we have so many questions about Him and for Him.  How can we know God better?

One of the ways God makes Himself known to us is through His names in the Bible.  Our names help identify and distinguish us.  God’s names go a step further:  they reveal God to us.  Studying God’s names helps us grow in our understanding of His character, gives us a more complete view of Him, and grow closer to Him.  In The Names of God Bible study, Melissa Spoelstra leads women on an exploration of the many names of our God—from El and Elohim to Yahweh and its many combinations to names such as Abba, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. 

​

As we study the names of God, our ideas about God will become more grounded in what His names tell us, and thus more personal, allowing a greater trust in Him to share the details of our lives. Whether having walked with God for many years or just starting out in a relationship with Him, by the end of this study we will not only know more about God but will know Him better—because through the discovery of God’s names, we will discover Him!  Along the way, we will also learn about the lives of women from history, like Susanna Wesley, Harriet Tubman, Catherine Marshall, Amy Carmichael and others who trusted in and leaned on these names of God and what they meant.

​

**Please contact the Church Office or Cathy Dambach to register so that we can prepare and sanitize the room safely and order workbooks.  Workbooks are $13.00 (not necessary, but strongly encouraged).  Masks and safe distancing will be required.  Hope to see you there!
