There is a post below concerning our monthly Bible Study - please read!!! :)

Monthly Bible Study

Hi, Honeymooners!

Just a reminder... We need hosts for the in-home Bible Study this month! In addition, if you're interested in signing up in advance to host, that would help me in building a schedule. This is a great opportunity to experience an intimate in-home study with fellow brothers and sisters at a similar stage in life.

I know it is difficult for everyone to get together on weeknights considering every one's busy schedules. We are all a bit spread out geographically! However, if you're able, I believe this study is a great investment in our marriages and friendships.

We are still using the NOOMA videos to supplement our discussion. This study provides the men in our class a unique opportunity to lead in a "safe" environment. It's a great way to gain experience in teaching the Word, and I have enjoyed all of the various perspectives. It truly keeps things interesting, and it provides me with a fresh vantage point.

If you're interested in hosting, you can do so and opt not to lead the study. If you're interested in hosting AND leading the study, I will get the video to you in advance so that you can prepare. The DVD comes with a booklet of study questions. You can use these questions or make your own. For those of you who have little to no experience teaching, this opportunity is for you! The booklet will walk you through what to say. This will allow you to get more comfortable with teaching/being in front of a group before delving in and being required to write your own lesson.

Finally, the host sets the date and time. They can choose according to what works with thier individual schedule. This study is designed to be flexible and causual.

I ask everyone to pray and discern if this is an opportunity that the Lord is leading them to participate in. Once again, I understand how busy everyone is, and therefore it's important for each couple to pray over which acitivities take priority.

Blessings!

Julie
