Spring Study: Ephesians!

I have finally reached a decision about our next study: Ephesians! It's a 10-week study, starting on Wednesday, February 3. I worked on it during the holidays, and the lessons are long but really good! I think we're in for a great study! We'll finish the study on April 14.

If you are planning to join the Ephesians study, please let me know as soon as possible so I can order enough workbooks. Thanks!

January Study Sessions

Beginning on Wednesday, January 13, Nell Anne will offer a 3-week mini session on how to do Bible study, using the inductive methods Precept suggests. Some of you are comfortable with these study methods, but others may enjoy this opportunity to working on their study skills. The group will use Ephesians to practice, so hopefully you'll get a head start on some of your homework. We'll keep it informal and hopefully have some fun with it!

Announcements

Next Wed is potluck day! We decided to have soup, salad, bread, and dessert. So, pick one of those categories and bring a dish to share. If you have little ones in the nursery, remember to pack a lunch for them.

Announcement: September Potluck

Next Wednesday (September 30) is our monthly potluck. We will have lunch at 11:30, after our lesson. Don't forget - If you have a little one in the nursery, be sure to pack a lunch for him/her. We decided this would be a 'true' potluck, so bring whatever dish you'd like to share. Also, keep in mind that we don't serve drinks, so bring something to drink.

Hope everyone is ready to play Daniel Jeopardy tomorrow morning! There will be a prize for the winner. Notice I said 'winner', not 'winners'. That's right ...there's only 1 prize and you're gonna want it. So, get out those notes and start cramming!

We will also have our semi-annual greed exchange as well. This time we'll fight over spring/summer decorations. Remember: there's a $10 limit!

I'm looking forward to good food....and alot fun! See ya in the morning....

Announcement

Originally we planned on having a potluck lunch this Wed. But, we decided it'd be fun to get together Wed April 19 and 'party'! So, we will not have a potluck lunch after group this Wed. We will have a potluck brunch the following Wed. We'll meet at our usual time and childcare will be provided.

On the 19th, bring a dish to share....some kind of breakfast recipe. We'll also play Daniel Jeopardy....and there'll be a fabulous prize for the winner, I'm sure! So start studying!

We'll also have a spring/summer decoration exchange. Find something that's under $10...wrap it and come prepared to have some fun!

Video Feedback

If you were in Bible study this morning, you know that we did things a bit differently. We started by watching a video of Kay Arthur. Please give your feedback about this: Did you like watching the video? Did you not like it? Why? How could we integrate the videos into our study -- any suggestions? Thank you for providing your input.

Announcement

Just a reminder that we will NOT meet on Wednesday, March 18, due to Knox County spring break. We will pick back up with Lesson Four on Wednesday, March 25. This is also the date of our next potluck. Please bring your favorite Mexican dish or a dessert to share. See you in two weeks!
