Our Study Process

NOTE 2007 Change in FORMAT:

Men's Bible Study - New Study Process

After discussion, we've decided to change the process which we use in
Thursday's Bible studies. It seemed that, in the old way, we talked
about Scripture but gradually got away from actually studying in the
Scripture. We began to emphasize the Upper Room stories (giving grades 1 - 10),
and rarely discussed the Scriptural references.


In the new way, we'll read/discuss the Scripture references in the
applicable Upper Room stories and discontinue the grading of the stories.
(We didn't feel it right to "grade" the Scripture, so the entire grading process has been eliminated).


That said, now all you need do is come prepared to discuss the Upper
Room Scripture references for the week..... maybe taking/bringing some
notes on each referenced Scripture passage and being prepared to
discuss any that enlightened, impacted, puzzled, intrigued, amused, angered,
lifted, depressed, or concerned you. Your call.

(We also use the Men's Bible according to the schedule as well.dsr 5/12/09)

We've tried this for a couple of weeks and it seems to work out OK.
Discussions have been lively.



Look forward to seeing you Thursday.

Any questions, just ask.
