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. 📅
