| | | | Women's Ministry: Reading Through the Gospels | |
This summer, the WCC Women’s Bible Study Team is inviting all ladies to read the Gospels in chronological order. ✝️❤️
This will be a two-month commitment starting in June and ending in July. We will be using the Bible Recap program.
Each day (Monday through Friday), you will listen to an 8-minute recap by Tara Leigh Cobble and listen to or read a few chapters in the Gospels, which will take about 12 minutes. The total comment will be about 20-25 minutes.
| | |
✝️ The Recap program will allow you to choose the time that is best for you and to have the convenience of being in your own home.
- You will listen to several chapters of Scripture Monday through Friday. (This will give you weekends to catch up.)
- Come under good teaching through Tara Leigh Cobble.
- And have the opportunity, if you wish, to share your thoughts with others through a "Talk It Over" chat box.
✝️ You can choose to do this program on your own or do it with other ladies under the direction of a Recap leader from WCC.
- If you choose to do it on your own, you can use your computer or smartphone.
- If you choose to do this program with a WCC Recap leader, you can only use your smartphone.
- This option allows you to share your thoughts, ask questions, make comments, read other comments, share prayer requests, and help each other stay motivated.
- This is a great option for reading the Gospels on your own while still being able to share this experience with your family and friends.
- If you would like, we can put you in a group with others you know. Just follow the directions below or stop by the table in the Atrium starting May 17:
- Call and invite ladies to join you, then let them know you will register them under your name.
- When you register, you can add guests.
- Add their names to your registration, and they will be in your group.
📅 This program begins June 1, so be sure to register by May 31. 📅
