SCHEDULE FOR WOMEN'S BIBLE CLASSES

Titus 2:3-5 instructs the older women to teach the younger women how to:

  • love their husbands
  • love their children
  • be sensible and pure
  • be workers at home....so that the Word of God will not be dishonored
Tapestry Women's Ministry is offering Bible classes which have been designed to accomplish these goals. Following is the teaching schedule w/ a brief description of the topic study.

(*Dan will be out of town for classes w/ *, so you won't miss out on his teaching. Tapestry has made an effort to provide these special women's studies during times when Dan would be gone anyway.)


*Sept 21--Loving Your Children- Lesson 1-Rhonda Gross

What does the Bible say about child training? This class will provide the Biblical foundation for the responsibility of parents to discipline and train their children.

*Sept 28 (schedule change)--Loving Your Children- Lesson 2

This study builds on Lesson 1 and will look at how God disciplines His children, and how we can use this as a model for disciplining our own children. Detailed guidelines on the appropriate use of spanking will be given.

*Oct 5 (schedule change)--Loving Your Children-Lesson 3-Rhonda and Joy Arnold

How do you train kids to do their chores or be responsible w/ their money? This study will deal w/ building character traits into your kids. We will also look at ways of praying for our kids. There will be a Q & A session at the end.

*Oct 2--The Single Woman-Erin Stark

How do you prepare yourself for the husband that God has planned for you? What should you be involved w/ while you wait patiently for God's plan to unfold for your life? This study will deal w/ issues that face today's single woman.

*One Accord Prayer Workshop-Joy Arnold (new date--TBA)

"Lord, teach us to pray!"~ We are always striving to improve our personal prayer lives. This class will offer ideas and enhancements for the women who are already involved in One Accord Prayer. It would also be the ideal time for someone new to join this vital ministry at SBC. There will be a special emphasis on "Praying for Our Husbands".

Dec 7--Proverbs 31 Woman-Lesson 1--Nina Johnson

"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." Is this an impossible goal? Yes~ but w/ God, all things are possible! Come learn some principles from Proverbs 31 and how God wants to mold you into this kind of woman.

Oct. 16--Loving Your Children Part 4--Rhonda Gross
This will be the conclusion of our study on child training. This class will include information about stages of child training, roles of grandparents, and praying for our kids. We will have a Q&A session at the end of this class.


*Nov 6 and 9--(2) classes--How to NOT talk so your husband will listen-Joy Arnold

It's the age-old conflict between "The Gen. 3:16 Woman" and "The Proverbs 31 Woman." God's curse for Eve in the Garden was that she would have an instinctive desire to control her husband, but God's perfect plan is for the husband to rule over the wife. Obviously, these 2 opposing principles will inevitably create conflict. How does a wife avoid these pitfalls in marriage? How do we encourage our husbands w/o nagging and becoming contentious? This study will deal w/the difficulties of communication in marriage.

Re-scheduled for some time in January--Loving Your Husband-Pat Hill

God instructs us to learn how to love our husbands. (This must mean that it doesn't always come naturally!) This study will deal w/ specifc ways a wife can demonstrate her love for her husband, even during those inevitable times in marriage when there are "bumps in the road".

  • Note: Please check this site frequently for any changes in schedules or topics. Invariably, someone's schedule will change and we'll need to shuffle some of the classes around.

I love this website but I have not been able to send my comments. I hope this gets to you Joy. We are having a great time and the classes I am teaching here are going well....teaching all the subjects you have posted...Prov.31 my main subject but adding much because of all the questions. There is such a need here for good teaching to the ladies. Give all my greetings in Jesus Name (as the Nigerians would say). Pat
