Meeting September 11 – December 11 (not meeting November 27)
Contacts: Judy Myaard, Marylin Bright
Room 167 in the adult wing
“Take heart, daughter,” (Matthew 9:22). This encouragement straight from the lips of Jesus surely comforted a hurting woman’s soul thousands of years ago. And it offers the same hope to us today. In Jesus and Women, a video-based, homework-driven study, biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland will take us back to Jesus’ first-century world, explaining the historical and cultural climate of His day to help us know Him more dearly. This thoughtful look at several of Jesus’ interactions with women in the Bible is designed to fuel our worship of the Living God.
For WOW (Room 167), the full large group meets together in one room to view the DVD-based video before breaking into smaller table groups for discussion. Each table group is assigned to their own room, typically 7 to 10 per group and is led by a facilitator specific to that group. Discussions alternate between the DVD content on the week the DVD is shown and discussions of homework study material on the alternating week. (Study Guide with steaming video access: $25)
