Bible Studies

Whassup, blog buddies?

I have not forgotten you! A couple of you have asked for some scoop on the women’s study, and I sooooooooo want to fill you in. I am buried right now but have definite plans to post notes and highlights (WITHOUT video or audio :-); unfortunately, it may be after the study is done.

We have had thirty-five ladies both nights, and this group is tooo fun! Can’t wait to share more, so please be patient. Would so appreciate your prayers for our group! I don’t pretend to know His purposes for us; I am just praying that He accomplishes them and that we (especially me) stay out of His way!

“Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me…” – Psalm 66:16

Five Lies of the Devil: For Women Only will be meeting at the Russell House (1502 West Palmetto Street) on the corner of Palmetto and Seneca (directly across the street from the Sundae House and Visible Changes salon).

We crank up this coming Tuesday evening, September 8, at 7:00, and I am over-the-moon excited about it!

At present, there are about twenty-five of us, with a few “maybes” hanging in the balance and new gals signing up every day. If you are still interested in joining us, just shoot me an email with your name, email address, and mailing address. For more of the details, you can check out this post and this post.

I cannot wait to dive in!

PS – Casual and comfy attire required. Don’t you dare get duded up to come…

Whassup, peeps?

I just dig you guys the most!! I just wanted to offer a little update on the study. I have had about twenty ladies express interest in participating, and I am out of my gourd with excitement! You guys have been asking some great questions too that I’ll address here for everyone’s benefit:

How much homework will there be? None 🙂 That goes against every teacher instinct in me, just so you know!

Is there a book or other materials to purchase? No 🙂 The Bible will be our text. We’ll have a lesson and discuss as time allows. That’s kinda the format we’ll follow…

What if I cannot come to all of the sessions? That’s not a problem at all! Each evening’s lesson will be independent of the others. Please come even if you cannot come to all five.

Has a location been determined yet? No. Many of you have made GENEROUS offers of space (THANK YOU!), and I am not even ready to choose a place yet. If I had already secured a space for 10-15 people, I would be worried about it being too small at this point. My plan is to ride it out a little longer to get a fairly decent estimate. I am trusting God to bring every lady He wants and then trusting Him to provide the right space for His purposes. If you have emailed me your information, I will make sure you know where we will meet in plenty of time (which may be a very relative promise 😉 Please continue to send space ideas and offers. They are greatly appreciated!

How do I sign up? Just email me (secawthon@yahoo.com) your name, email address, and mailing address. I need that info from each lady planning to participate.

Is there a cut-off date for signing up? No, but. As soon as you know that you would like to be involved, please shoot me your info – purely to allow us to choose an appropriate space! Having said that, if you find out about the study two weeks after it has started and you want to come, please email me and for the love of Pete come on. Nothing would tickle me more!

I have always wanted to do an FAQ post. How exciting (and dorky)! I am souped-up hyper about this chance to pursue Him with you! Keep the questions coming, and TTFN…

Okay, have I annoyed you enough on FB and Twitter this week? Well, that’s over and without further adieu – the big reveal 🙂

I am tickled……I am beside myself……I am spazzing in a very big way! If you have been around these parts before, you may know that I love to teach. I am especially passionate about teaching women. Especially about what God has done for me.

So, there’s no time like the present for grabbing the bull by the horns, right? I am going to be teaching/leading a 5-week study. Details are listed below:

Full disclosure on Sunday 🙂
