12 Women of the Bible

Happy Week 6, OBSers! Can you believe we are almost done with our study? This is the last of the women of our study.

Okay, here is the last of our Weekly Lowdown’s. Print this, post it to your fridge or tuck it in your study book.

This is your SUGGESTED guide for the week to help you keep up in the Bible study!

Here’s what’s happening in our study this week…

What We’re Reading This Week... Mary Magdalene (pp. 97-106, in the guide.)

This week’s memory verse: Galatians 6:9 (NIV) – “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Mary Magdalene: Transforming for Outcast to Follower

Her Character: Though mistakenly characterized as a prostitute in many popular writings, the Bible says only that Mary was possessed by seven demons. She probably suffered a serious mental or physical illness from which Jesus delivered her. She is a beautiful example of a woman whose life was poured out in response to God’s extravagant grace.

Key Scriptures: Luke 8:1-2; John 19:25 and 20:1-18

Observe — Our culture seems to have ways of declaring people either “in” or “out.” What places a person in the inner circle and what makes a person an outcast?

Bible — Take a moment and read Galatians 6:9. Then try the S.O.A.P. Bible Study Method …

Observe — God created humans to be in His image, to be reflections of Him on earth, mean and women to reflect God’s glory. Jesus takes the broken shards of our lives and mends them back together so we can reflect Jesus. – Jonalyn Fincher

Stretch — Fill in the blank: This week I can spend more time at the feet of Jesus by _______. What is getting in the way of you doing this? Prayerfully consider and journal your thoughts. #12Women, #OBS

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go! This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry. We stayed at the Nugget Casino & Resort...and no, I did not put any money in the slot machines!!! :-) What's a vacation with shopping - the Outlets at Legends proved to be more than shopping. Then off to Virginia City. Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire

Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. The holidays stem from the late 1800s when labor activists wanted a federal holiday to recognize workers' contributions to the country. The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York City, planned by the Central Labor Union. The Labor Day parade of about 10,000 workers took unpaid leave and marched from City Hall past Union Square uptown to 42nd street and ended in Wendel’s Elm Park at 92nd Street and 9th Avenue for a concert, speeches, and a picnic. Oregon was the first to declare Labor Day an official holiday in 1887. Labor Day is considered the 'unofficial NFL season kickoff.' 99.44 percent of the ti
