Sweet Tuesdays

Fall Session

9:00AM - 11:00AM

Sweet Tuesdays, a women’s Bible study, has been a longstanding tradition at Bethany Covenant Church. We meet on Tuesday mornings from 9:00 - 11:00AM for fellowship and singing, with our primary focus on studying God’s word. Childcare is available (ages 0-5).

Our scheduled sessions are: Fall/Winter (September to December) and Winter/Spring (January to May). Women of all ages are welcome.

Please get in touch with Pinky Rines or Kathy Sasseville if you have questions.

For those who cannot attend on Tuesday mornings, Women’s Ministries also offers a Monday evening group. Please scroll further down for more information on The Gathering—A Ladies’ Monday Evening Bible Study Group.

All Women’s Groups have a $20 registration fee. If that is a barrier for any reason, please contact Pinky or Kathy.

AN HOUR OF PRAYER

Perhaps you are already involved in another small group Bible study.  If you would like to commit an hour of your time in prayer each Tuesday morning, then this is the group for you.  For nine Tuesday mornings and for one hour, there will be an emphasis on praying – unspecified, spirit-led prayer, specific prayer requests, needs, or prayers of praise and adoration. Using Paul Covert’s book (52 Creative Ways to Pray: Ideas for Individuals, Small Groups and Prayer Gatherings) as a resource, your prayer life can come alive in areas such as:  Praying specific scripture passages, praying God’s promises, the names of God, praying for our church, our country, praying for specific needs passed on from others, or simply being quiet and listening to God.

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

By: Jack Kuhatschek

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. To be spiritually mature is to show the fruit of the Spirit of Christ in our lives. The New and Old Testament passages you will study, highlighting each quality, will help allow the Spirit's fruit to ripen. This LifeChange Topical Bible Study focuses on one key passage of scripture that fully describes the fruit being considered.

A WOMAN’S HEART – GOD’S DWELLING PLACE

By: Beth Moore

Taken primarily from the Book of Exodus, A Woman's Heart explores the fascinating account of the building of the Old Testament tabernacle, the significance of its intricate design, its pivotal role in God's eternal plan, the grand fulfillment of its purpose by Jesus Christ, and its variety of meanings for your walk with God today. This study will carry through the fall, winter, and into the spring sessions of Sweet Tuesday’s. 

Led by: Joan Green & Kathy Sasseville

LIFE WITHOUT LACK

By: Dallas Willard

This study will help you experience God's comforting presence, abundant generosity, peace, and freedom from worry. It will forever change how you experience the most well-known passage in all of Scripture. Dallas Willard helps us to understand that the 23rd Psalm is not meant as a nice sentiment or for kitschy decor; it is for the very thick of our lives, the very moment of crisis. Imagine what our personal lives, families, communities, and politics would look like if we rejected the frantic striving of our day and instead embraced the life without lack offered to us in Jesus.

PRACTICING THE WAY: BE WITH JESUS. BECOME LIKE HIM.  DO AS HE DID.

by John Mark Comer

We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice. To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.             
 
This introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance, cultural insight, and practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life. These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus. We can be with him, become like him, and do as he did.
