Women’s Bible Study (Tuesday 10:00 – 11:30 a.m.)
A Note from Facilitators, Susan Edwards and Kimm Sarosi:
Dear Bible study friends,
The study of John was amazing! I’m still thinking of the Samaritan woman (me), with Jesus “thirsting” for her (me) to return to Him. Wow! I hope you, too, found love and inspiration in the study. We now look forward to the next study, “James: Pearls for Wise Living.” This is a great follow-up to John, as John teaches us about who Jesus is and what he preached, and now James applies those
teachings to real life. He provides many important resources, like how to find joy in the midst of trials, and learning to find peace. James is considered the most practical book on the bible, as he focuses on issues faced by ordinary Christians. In our 17 years as a group we have never studied James, so I’m excited to take this journey together. Please invite your friends and family to join us!
For those already enrolled in the fall study (John), a workbook will be ordered for you. The price for the book will be $32 (the book, plus a small share
of the shipping cost). The books will be available at the January 16th meeting (checks made payable to St. Francis). Email Susan or Kimm with any updates or questions.
If you are new and would like to join for the first time, please sign-up via the parish website. We will be in touch soon with details!

New to Bible Study?
We recommend starting with the “Bible Timeline: The Story of Salvation” bible study that tells the biblical story from beginning to end and will give you the keys to understanding the amazing story woven throughout Scripture.
In this revolutionary approach to Bible study, The Bible Timeline divides the Bible into twelve color-coded time periods that make the narrative thread easier to follow. Using a unique color-coded chart, you will learn the major people, places, and events of the Bible and discover how they all come together to reveal the remarkable story of our Faith.
The Bible Timeline will teach you how to read and understand the entire Bible and introduce you to the wonderful narrative of Scripture in a way that will transform your life.
Would you be willing to facilitate a group for our parish family? (materials provided)
