Women’s Wednesday Bible Study (WWBS)

Wednesdays, September 5, 2018 - May 8, 2019 | 9:30-11:00 am, Room 209
Wednesday Women’s Bible Study (“WWBS”) will study the Gospel of John in 2018-19

"On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you."
-John 14:20

WWBS welcomes women of all ages to join us for the profound Gospel of John. John wrote this Gospel so readers can grow deeper in their faith. John, who walked with Jesus, describes the meanings of Jesus' teachings, miracles, and actions. We will learn what sanctification looks like and how we can learn to live daily being more Christ-like.

Our forum begins with a large group presentation of the specific chapters we have read the previous week. We end our time together in small group discussion reflecting on those same passages. You will be amazed to discover how wide and long and high and deep Christ's love is, which leads all of us into a deeper faith -- one that is personal, sanctifying, and lasting.

Beginning September 5, we'll meet Wednesday mornings from 9:30-11:30 am in Room 209. Come, hear, learn, and have fun, with amazing women! Bring a friend! All are welcome.

Bring your Bible! Study Guides and Commentaries will be available.
