A number of Bible studies will
be offered during the year in addition to those listed below.
Please watch for details on subjects, dates, and times to be published in
the Lamplighter and the bulletin.
Women
of Kirkwood (WOK)
Our 2006-2007
Bible study guide is titled "In the Beginning; Perspectives on Genesis."
In the Beginning examines familiar stories from the book of Genesis
from a fresh point of view. This study also calls attention to parts of Genesis
that are less familiar, characters who have been ignored, and voices that
have been muted, if not outright silenced.
Genesis is filled with accounts of relationships, and so is this Bible study—relationships
between women, between wives and husbands, between mothers and children. Just
as each character in the book of Genesis brings a unique perspective to the
story, it's understood that each person using this study brings an outlook,
a context, and a history that is uniquely her own. In the Beginning celebrates
this diversity and the gifts that come form varied and distinct points of
view.
Our Monday night and Thursday morning circles will be using this guide. In addition, WOK sponsors a variety of mission and fellowship events throughout the year. We welcome all Women of Kirkwood (and their friends) to join us.
