If we can be sure about anything relating to COVID-19, we can be certain that it is outside human control! I am so grateful that we serve a God who CAN control the coronavirus--and everything else! Because we know that this didn't take Him by surprise and that it is completely within His sovereign control, we can take all the more comfort in studying His Word. This is one of the many reasons we wanted to make sure that Crossroads Women's Ministry continued to provide options for Bible study through the summer of 2020!
Here's the plan:
- This summer, we are offering four different studies, and everyone is responsible for obtaining their own book. (Please contact us if you need help with that.)
- Studies will begin the week of June 8th and run 6-7 weeks, depending on the study.
- Everyone will be divided into groups based on their study choice and whether they prefer to meet virtually on Zoom or in a home/backyard/park in five-or-fewer groups.
- Each group will determine the time of their meeting independently (and location, if in-person).
- Each group will independently determine their comfort level of interaction and social distancing.
- Every group will be responsible to arrange their own childcare.
- Anyone without internet, with mobility issues, or with other concerns should contact the CWM coordinator (Sandy) at cbcwomensministryla@gmail.com.
To sign up, please follow these five steps:
1. Decide which study you want to do, and order your book.
2. Send your registration info to cbcwomensministryla@gmail.com
3. Wait for confirmation of your group from the CWM summer study team.
4. Be contacted by your group facilitator about time (and location, if applicable) of your meeting.
The only cost for the summer studies will be the price of the book. Options for ordering will be provided when registration is confirmed, but we recommend ordering the book as soon as you choose your study to provide ample time for shipping (all books are available through Amazon, as well as other vendors).
To register via email, feel free to copy the form (click here for form), paste into an email, and fill in your information. Crossroads members should also be receiving both a snail-mail and email registration form this week (May 24th -30th). Any one of those forms of registration will be sufficient.
Sign up deadline is June 1, 9pm.
We recognize that there is a broad spectrum of feeling out there about what is safe/appropriate/right for social distancing and precautionary measures during this time. We've even had different opinions within the summer planning team! We hope that by organizing the studies as described above, we can meet a wide variety of needs and comfort levels. As always, we know that the Crossroads women will rise to the occasion with grace to show love and preference to one another. We will be in touch with each group facilitator, but we encourage anyone with questions or concerns to contact the CWM summer study team at cbcwomensministryla@gmail.com or comment below.
