Coffee Break Bible Study
Winter 2012 COFFEE BREAK WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
Begins January 12, 2011 from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m.
“A WOMAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART” - 1.5 hours
Co-Leaders: Charlotte Bubar and Katie Harrison
Author: Elizabeth George | Room: E11
Do you ever stop to think about how you will be remembered after you’re gone? Just as King David of the Old Testament is remembered as a “man after God’s own heart,” in this topical Bible study, Elizabeth George is going to teach you how to become a “woman after God’s own heart” ….and how you can find balance and fulfillment in the critical areas of life that matter most.
“BOOK OF PHILIPPIANS” - 5 hours
Co-Leaders: Deborah Oliver and Sharlene Rasmussen
Author: Kay Arthur, Precept Bible Study | Room: S5/6
The message of Philippians is how to have joy! How do I live the Christian life joyfully, regardless of people or circumstances? What is the purpose of suffering and the Christian perspective on death? Do I have "the mind of Christ?" Discover true, deep-down joy in your life that the world cannot take away!
“I and II THESSALONIANS” - 1.5 hour
Co-Leaders: Dorothy Zehm and Shirley May
Author: Donald Baker | Room: Reception Room
In I and II Thessalonians, Paul reveals that the promise of Christ’s return is more than a doctrine of our faith. It is a remarkable truth that can shape how we live. Do you wonder whether you will be with Jesus after you die? Would you like to be sure that your life is pleasing to the Lord? At times we all feel anxious and insecure about life and our faith. The Thessalonians were asking questions, and Paul wrote to help them find answers. They can help us be certain as well.
“INVITATION TO A PRAYER JOURNEY” - 2 hours
Co-Leaders: Charlotte Singleton, Michole Nicholson, and Karen Sturgeon
Room: Courtside Lounge (gym)
INVITATION TO A PRAYER JOURNEY is an opportunity to expand and vitalize your prayer life by exploring ways to develop your own unique “voice” and conversational relationship with God. Using Scripture as our source and guide, we will pray for our inner man; adore and praise God; put on our spiritual armor; rest in the Lord and listen for His voice; pray in illness and suffering; meditate on Scripture; pray for mission and missionaries; pray for the lost; and more.
“JONAH - NAVIGATING A LIFE INTERRUPTED” - 2-3 hours
Co-Leaders: Teri Bristol and Pam Kaar
Author: Priscilla Shirer | Room: E9/10
They shock us; they compel us to change. You cannot escape life’s interruptions, but you can change your perspective on them. Dive into the study of Jonah and discover that what you see as an interruption may truly be God’s divine invitation to a life so much bigger than you can imagine.
“STEPPING OUT OF DENIAL INTO GOD’S GRACE & TAKING AN HONEST & SPIRITUAL INVENTORY” - 2 hours
Co-Leaders: Sherri Masters and Cindy Kullman
Author: John Baker |Room: E12 | Year-long Study (Class Closed)
These are two of the four books from the Celebrate Recovery series. There are based on eight principals from the Beatitudes in the Bible. You’ve heard the expression, “Time heals all wounds.” Unfortunately, time often makes things worse. This is a biblical and balanced program that can help heal based on the very words of Jesus Christ.
“WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE MARRIED TO ME” - 1.5 hours
Leader: Monty Blackwell
Author: Linda Dillow | Room: Chapel
Most women want more from their marriage – but don’t know how to get it. Dillow shares the best and worst things she ever did in her fifty-year marriage, as well as responses from her survey for five hundred wives. With a reflective study guide included, this is not a book about marriage; it is a book about how to live out marriage, day-by-day and year-by-year. Readers will come away with hope that they can be the wives they want to be, in a marriage filled with passion, intimacy and joy.
“WORDS OF JESUS” - 1 hour
Co-Leaders: Mary Lou Frederick and Jill Edwards
Author: Word of God | Room: Family Room
We will read aloud the words of Jesus from the New Testament portion of the Bible, only His words, and discuss them. All Bible translations are welcome. The more translations we have, the better for discussion. Red-letter editions of the Bible are especially welcome. We will begin in Matthew 7.
For Everyone:
Childcare:
We offer childcare, birth through sixth grade. Anytime we have kids in our care, we want to do our best to encourage and instruct them in the Lord.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
