New Beginnings
Today’s Tidbit: “There was no scenery in Elizabethan theatre, and the word ‘scene’ did not automatically mean ‘different place’. Many scenes take place without any clear indication of where the characters are. When it is important to know, it is the words which tell us.” The Shakespeare Miscellany page 151.
I am excited about this fall (no, not just because the Tigers are FINALLY in the playoffs again!) about joining two very different Bible studies. One is a small group of 10 people, mostly couples who are older than I am, and the other is a study group of 12 women from church.
The women’s group is doing a Beth Moore study on the Fruit of the Spirit. I am really enjoying the study and especially getting to know women I have been in choir with and attended church with for over 27 years. There are a few new faces, but most of the women I have known for many years. There is much wisdom to be shared in this group! The study is from the book of Galatians. I like the homework that takes me through some in depth questions, while digging into the Word of God for the answers. It isn’t like some other studies where I could do a week’s homework in about 40 minutes total!
The other group is currently studying the book of Philippians. We aren’t using a study guide, just the Bible and our discussions. The man leading the discussions is a pastor who works in our denomination offices in Livonia. It is a great group. I am looking forward to many meaningful discussions and wonderful prayer times. It will be also be fun to get to know some new people, and to get to know others I have been acquainted with a long time in a new way.
I realized this past week how much I have missed a small group that studies and prays together. The group I had been a part of for 7 years or so had dwindled down to 5 of us. We would meet for dinner, but for whatever reason, we evolved into mostly a supper club. The fellowship was nice. But I knew I needed more. We agreed that it was time to end our group and join others. My new group has one couple from my original small group. I’m glad Greg and Kathy asked if this new group would take 3 new members! I know it will be a great adventure in getting to know new friends!
Blessings!
