Small Group Bible Studies
Everyone is encouraged to participate in one of our small group Bible Studies (or just “small groups” for short). Small groups generally meet once a week for one and a half hours, and have a discussion format. They are typically facilitated by a fellow grad student. Small groups are an excellent avenue through which to discover the truth in God's Word and how it applies to our lives. They are also a great way to make lasting friendships.
We welcome you to try one out. If you would like to be in a small group Bible study or if you would like more details, just contact one of the small group leaders. For any and all other questions, please contact Melodie Marske.
Monday Night
The Monday night Bible study is going to kick-off the year by studying Micah, one of the Old Testament prophets. Come enjoy good discussion, prayer, tasty treats, and some surprises here and there. We meet at Josh and Becky's place (2798 S Knightsbridge Cir in Ann Arbor) at 8 pm on Mondays. The first meeting for the semester is 9/14. All are welcome!
Tuesday Night
The Tuesday-night Bible study will be alternating study of books from the New and the Old Testaments for the Fall of 2009. Starting September 8, 2009, the Tuesday night bible study will look closely at the book of Hosea and St. Paul's epistle to the Colossians. No prior reading or preparation will be required of participants. This group is committed to young professionals and graduate students of the Ann Arbor area; and, as it celebrates diversity, all, especially international students, are welcome. Occasionally, we will also hold social events outside of the Bible study, which you would be welcome to attend. We gather at 2464 Nixon Rd, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105. We will meet at 8:30 pm.
Wednesday Night
The Wednesday night Bible Study will kick off the Fall 2009 semester by studying the book of James. We will then alternate between discussing "hot topics" and strong individuals in the Bible collectively decided on by the group. As a group we will decide on what hot topics and strong individuals in the Bible we want to study. We meet Wednesday nights from 8-9:30pm at Jonetta's place (3369 Burbank Drive, Ann Arbor MI, 48105). We'll begin with fellowship and food on Wednesday September 9th, 2009. The Wednesday night group is a diverse group of Graduate Students and young professionals. We welcome all interested persons to join us! Please feel free to contact Obi or Jonetta for directions.
Thursday Night
Thursday Night's Bible study will begin looking at the life of Daniel. We'll see what we can learn from Daniel about being faithful to God as students in the challenging environment of the University of Michigan. We'll also get to know Daniel's God, YHWH, and talk about his relevance on campus today. Our primary goal is to grow in our understanding of God together. We want to be a safe place for questions and struggles. Each week we'll spend time in prayer for our work on campus and for our needs. First year Grad students are especially invited, all are welcome! We'll be meeting 6:15-7:45pm at 418 East Washington Apt 3; Ann Arbor, MI 48104 - right on the edge of central campus.
