CAA Women's Bible Study: Summer 2005

[Ashley]

Announcement for Young Ladies Summer Bible Study

We are planning a Bible study, once again, for the young ladies of CAA. This thread is to sign up those interested and to give some information and answer questions for you who are interested in participating this time around. It will be held this summer, beginning June 5th, a Monday, and will end around August 14th.

Last time, we all enjoyed walking through the life of John, the Beloved Disciple of Jesus Christ and it was a wonderful experience. ^_______^ This time around, I will be joining True_Noir_Chloe as co-leader, which I'm very excited about.

We will do another Beth Moore study, since the last one seemed such a success and we’ve decided on a study on the Fruits of the Spirit, based in Galatians, and it is a study entitled, “Living Beyond Yourself.â€

[Arbre]

I've enjoyed the Beth Moore books that I've started to read. The little bits of the study I saw the last time seemed really good too. My schedule's way more open now than before, so I *should* be able to participate.

I just need to find a Christian bookstore and track the book down.

[true_noir_chloe]

It's great to see you're interested, Arbre. ^___^ Let me know if you need help finding the book and I'll see what I can do.

[Debitt]

I'll have to see if I can find the book. ^_^

[Jasdero]

I think I'll be able to do this one... I'll try~

[kumiko213]

i wanna do the bible study

[Anna Mae]

I would be interested in participating.

[Mangafanatic]

I'm very interested in being a part. I haven't done this one yet!

[JoyfulSongs]

Great! I'm really looking forward to it. I saw that there were a couple of different printing years for the workbooks. Which one do we need to get?

^___^

[Mangafanatic]

^___^

It'd probably be hard to get anything but the first one. . .

[Sakura15]

Wow, sounds awesome I'd love to do it but Im not sure I'll have the money for it.

[Yumie]

I'm interested, Beth Moore is great. I just hope I'll have the time!

[soul alive]

i would like to participate, and think i can find the book. i should have more than enough time, as the only thing i HAVE to be doing this summer is waitressing, and the rest of my time is pretty much open.

[true_noir_chloe]

It's great to see so much interest. I want to make sure you all realize this is NOT the hardcover book, which her studies are usually sold as, this is the WORKBOOK - an 81/2x11 book which you can actually write down your thoughts and answer questions within. So please, I'd hate to see any of you waste your money and buy the wrong book. ^__^;;; Of course, you are welcome to buy the hardcover if they have one available.

Now, for those who cannot afford the book, please pm me or Ashley and we can probably work something out.

Now, the name of the actual workbook is, Living Beyond Yourself Exploring the Fruit of the Spirit, by Beth Moore. It is published by Lifeway Church Resources and the ISBN # is 0-63319380-1.

I hope this helps with some of the questions you've raised.

[K. Ayato]

I sure am interested! How does it work out?

[true_noir_chloe]

How does it work out?

As the date approaches in June, we will let you know more and even have a thread started and stickied in the Bible section of CAA. For now, this thread is to find out who is interested in the study and to make sure you all get the workbooks in time for the study so we can start it June 5th.

We wanted to give everyone a fair amount of time to see if they]way[/i] we will conduct the actual study, it should work like this:

The workbook is split up into weeks; Day one, you cover a certain amount of Scripture, read and pray, Day Two, you do the same, Day Three and so on. It is set up in Five Day increments (20-40 minutes of Bible/prayer time a day), which is the one week. Altogether the study is a 10-week course. Thus, you are covering 50 days of deep Bible study and prayer.

Funny, I never thought about that in past studies, it really goes by quickly. *hehe*

Anyway, at the end of each week's worth of time alone with God we get together in a chat room and discuss what we've learned and have a time of prayer and sharing. It is usually a two-hour long chat room session, because everyone likes to talk - especially me. Our chats, many times, ran much longer.

I hope that helps. Please ask me if you need further clarification.^______^

[Kisa]

AH! I would love to, but I am doing an internship all summer and won't be getting on hardly at all! >< *cries*

[Little Momo]

I would like to join. My bible study is ending this week for the summer so I will be looking forward to it.

[kumiko213]

i would need help getting the book

[Kawaiikneko]

oh that sounds interesting! Would we be using the CAA chat though? b/c I can never get it to work ;_;

Getting the workbook shouldn't be a problem though! My mom would be fine getting it for me. We have a lifeway at the nearby mall too

[LightUpTheDark]

I'd be interested in participating as well. I'll have no problems finding the workbook. Here is a thought about the women who want to do it, but can't find/ can't afford to get a book. If it's not against copyright laws, you could probably scan the pages and turn them into pdf files using Adobe Acrobat reader or like software. Also, those of you over 18, or with parents who have accounts, could look on E-bay, Half.com, or Amazon.com. Might be able to find it cheaper on one of these sites, not to mention it could be a help for anyone who has trouble finding the book. Just a thought.

[Spirit_Wolf8356]

Woohoo! New study! ^____^ I'd love to participate! And I'd be more than happy to help out in any way I can.

[CreatureArt]

I'm also interested in participating. I would have to find out the availability of the book in NZ, though .

[Ashley]

I'm pretty sure that's against copyright. However if you can't afford it or can't get it, just come talk to me and Chloe--we'll get you a book.

[kumiko213]

i cant get the book ash

[soul alive]

quick question: would this be once a week, a few days a week, daily, or what?

[Ashley]

i cant get the book ash

No problem; PM me some contact info (and given your age, your mom's email address if possible) and we'll get one to you.

quick question: would this be once a week, a few days a week, daily, or what?

Well, we would meet once a week at a set time, but from what I understand you would have homework every day.

[true_noir_chloe]

[quote="Kawaiikneko"] oh that sounds interesting! Would we be using the CAA chat though? b/c I can never get it to work ]
Sorry I didn't answer this sooner. ^__^;; We will use either AIM or YIM, as for as I know. I may have to ask Ashley if she wants to do something different. Last time we chatted on AIM, so I assumed we would do AIM or possibly YIM this time - I actually prefer YIM.

1. Arbre
2. Kokoro Daisuke
3. Sunako

5. Anna Mae
6. Mangafanatic (Osaka)
