I am very excited for our upcoming Women's Bible study in October. I am excited to learn more of what God want's to speak to us as a group and as individuals through the book of Jonah and through His follower - Priscilla. I have been enjoying getting to "know" Priscilla Shirer a bit more through her blog. I want to direct you to her site and to one of her recent posts so you can get to know her more also. One of the things that has really attracted me to Priscilla is her missional attitude. She speaks to many women at any one of her gatherings and her philosophy is that the place where she speaks should be changed because of the gathering. The city should know that "1600" women met and worshipped and learned and responded!
For someone like me who loves to study and learn, it is so easy to go from service to study to event to retreat taking in over and over. God does call us to grow in our faith and knowledge of Him. He also asks us to be His kingdom on earth. To love as Jesus loved. To give up so we can give back.
In the post Priscilla asks the question, "How are you being the hands and feet of Jesus? How are you making an impact?"

For those of us anticipating involvement in a group Bible study this Fall; how we can be missional as a group. How can our Bible study gatherings make a difference? How can we let our neighbours know that loving and believing in Jesus is the difference in our lives?
