Introducing The Book of Colossians
In case you missed the first announcement – here is our next Bible Study!!!
Are you needing to get into God’s Word?
You don’t want to miss this!
It is going to be such a good practical study.
We begin Monday, September 9th in the Book of Colossians.
I’ll be back next week with all the resources you need to begin!
This is a four week study. I have divided each chapter into a few sections so we will go through Colossians more slowly than others.
I’ll be posting the book mark with the reading plan before the study begins next week.
The Book of Colossians is a relatively short letter, but Paul packs a lot into these four chapters. He emphasizes repeatedly the importance of putting on the new man so that we are not living in the manner in which we lived before we came to Christ. God’s desire is that we too would recognize that we have a new identity in Christ. He can change us so completely that this new identity transforms our relationships with everyone around us, both inside and outside the church.

FAQ
How do I enroll for this study?
There is no enrollment. No requirement to subscribe. Just come and join in anytime!
What is Good Morning Girls?
“Good Morning Girls” is a title for a group of women who use email, Facebook, Twitter or text messaging to keep each other accountable for their quiet times.
Do I have to have a Good Morning Girls Group to join the Bible Study?
No. You can do this study without a group on your own.
How Do I Start a Good Morning Girls accountability group?
Invite some of your friends to join you. Pray about who from your church, Bible study group, family, neighborhood or workplace would be a good fit. Groups that are smaller generally work better – 5-12 is a good number especially for email and text messaging groups. Facebook groups can go quite a bit larger and still work.
Once I have a group, what do I do?
Either create a Facebook Group where you can all discuss your daily reading and reflection questions or create an email group and email the group daily. My group uses the Voxer App – a voice messaging app -to share about our quiet times. You could also use text messaging or meet in person weekly in your home or at a coffee shop.
I want to be a leader of a group but I’m not sure how to lead?

This is a wonderful method that slows us down and helps us soak in every single word.
