Women's Bible Study
-
Are you looking for a good Catholic Bible Study?
Commit to a few hours a week studying God’s Word with other Catholic women.
A Bible, a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a pen, and an openness to the Holy Spirit, are all that you need to do this Bible Study!IC WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY VISION STATEMENT
“For where two or three come together in my name, I am there with them.”
- Jesus of Nazareth
The study of His Word, in Scripture, helps us to draw closer to Him. This is the reason we gather together.
In this faith sharing group, we meet other parishioners, form lasting friendships, and journey together as sisters in Christ.
We discuss faith issues, supporting and helping one another by sharing insights about challenges faced in our spiritual lives. We can rest assured that what we say at our session will be kept in the strictest confidence.
Reflecting on His teachings in Scripture helps us to feel Christ’s presence in our lives more than ever and encourages each of us to work harder at reflecting His goodness.
WHO WE AREWe are a Women’s Catholic Bible Study Group who meets in the Gathering Area and the first two meeting rooms on Wednesday mornings from September until May. We begin with Mass at 8:15 am and then socialize over coffee and goodies in the Gathering Area. The social component of Women’s Bible Study is very important to us.
After coming together for morning prayer, morning chuckle, and announcements, we break up into three study groups. Each person will have read the assigned Lesson and answered the questions on her own during the previous week.This year, we will be using Come and See ~ Catholic Bible Study. Its mission is to proclaim the Lordship of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit for the glory of God the Father. The particular study, Prophets and Apostles, comes with a study guide (24 lessons) and a DVD to go along with the studies.

Ever wonder what it would be like to encounter an Old Testament prophet? Or to hear one of the apostles preach a sermon? In this study, the Word of God as preached by the prophets and apostles is brought home to the modern Catholic. Each chapter gives historical background to these books of the Bible to help set the works in historical context. Questions with each chapter encourage us to let the Scriptures lead us to repentance and conversion.
Come and See: Prophets and Apostles will help you hear the Word of God as spoken by Daniel, Nehemiah, Joel, Habbakuk, Micah, the Apostle James, and other lesser-known biblical figures—bringing their teachings home to the modern-day Christian.
Some of the outstanding features of this study include:
- Numerous references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church
- Beautiful illustrations and design
- Engaging questions and helpful hints for studying
- Rich teachings from the saints and Church Fathers
- Scriptural teaching applied to life situations
- Treasured Catholic prayers and devotions
