Tuesday Evenings
The Gathering is a Tuesday evening women’s Bible study designed for those who want to grow deeper in Scripture and in their life as disciples of Jesus. Beginning in January, this group will explore Experiencing Scripture as a Disciple of Jesus by Dallas Willard, a study that invites participants to engage the Bible not just for information, but for transformation.
Our first gathering will be a Meet & Greet on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, held in the Upper Room at Bethany. This evening will offer a chance to connect, ask questions, and get oriented to the study. The first lesson begins Tuesday, January 20.
If you are unable to attend the Meet & Greet but plan to participate, please email the group leader, Jackie Mullen, to share your interest and receive information about study materials.
Please note: Childcare is not provided for the Tuesday evening group.
Registration
All women’s groups have a $20 registration fee, which covers all costs and materials.
All ladies are welcome regardless of their financial situation.

Life Principles for Worship from the Feasts of Israel
By Richard Shepherd
This study examines the Seven Feasts of the Lord as presented in Scripture. Each of the Feasts presents a reality about God and about our relationship with Him. This journey through The Feasts of Israel focuses on those as practiced in the Old and New Testaments. The author does not deal with the modern observances of these Feasts, but rather focuses on their fulfillment in Jesus and in the believer’s walk. The Feasts of Israel are actually “the feasts of the LORD.” He is the focus—Meeting with Him is the point.
The historical symbols in each Feast speak a message from His heart to every believer’s heart. He calls people to come and worship Him with a heart feasting on Him. In each Feast is a trail that leads to Jesus—to His Cross, to an Empty Tomb, to His ever-reigning Throne, to His Return and the fulfillment of every promise made in His Word. They lead ultimately to His once and for all established presence with His people in the New Earth with new heavens—all things made new.

How to Hear God: A Simple Guide for Normal People
By Pete Greig
When life crumbles, how can we discern God speaking? Exploring Jesus' journey to Emmaus, Greig draws on various Christian traditions---including the evangelical emphasis on hearing God in his Word, the charismatic commitment to listening to God in the prophetic, and the contemplative practice of perceiving God's "still, small voice"---to help you understand how God is talking to you!

John’s Letters – Discovering Genuine Christianity
By Ronald Blankley
When we strip away what is superficial, cultural or traditional, what is the essence of genuine Christianity? What qualities and beliefs must be present in a living and life-changing faith? John's letters focus on the three most important aspects of the Christian life. With power and simplicity, he helps us focus our attention on what really matters- both now and for eternity.

KNOWING JESUS AS GOD - A Bible study on the book of John
By Tara-Leigh Cobble
This study began last September and will conclude this term. Whether you attended last term or not, you are invited to join our group of beloved disciples. We will be picking up at John chapter 10.
Jesus is God. This is revealed throughout Scripture, but no book makes this truth clearer than the gospel of John. The entire book is a revelation of God's character as witnessed by the man he was closest to. John never identifies himself by name, but as the disciple that Jesus loved.
Whether it's your first time studying the book of John or your hundredth, the simplicity and complexity of this gospel account make it a never-ending source of encouragement. Written "so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God" (John 20:31), the book of John demonstrates page after page that He's where the joy is! Hopefully, after studying this gospel, each of you will identify yourself as the disciple that Jesus loved.
