Ladies Bible Study

The new study will be Esther: It’s Tough Being a Woman by Beth Moore

Join Beth Moore in an in-depth and very personal examination of this great story of threat and deliverance. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther’s day, it is tough today. Beth peels back the layers of history and shows how very contemporary and applicable the story of Esther is to us. This portion of God’s Word contains treasures to aid us in our hurried, harried and pressured lives.

This 10-week, interactive study features personal, daily assignments and weekly group sessions with video.

Learning to Love: Lessons for a Lasting Marriage Presented by Dudley Bienvenu, Christian Counselor

It’s fairly easy to love when you feel like it, but what about when you don’t. Then, what about the idea of loving your spouse “for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, till death”? Ever really thought about it? What would it take? Do you think it’s even possible? While I don’t pretend to have all the answers, what I want to share with you in this series is what I’ve learned, and am in the process of learning, over 25 years of marriage, as well as from 25 years of working with couples in counseling. They are lessons that have radically affected my own life and marriage for the good. My hope and prayer is that they benefit and bless you and yours as well.

This free 4-part seminar series presented by Dudley Bienvenu will be held at the Bayou Café on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:30 PM beginning on February 4, 2009. Seating is limited. Participants must pre-register by contacting Melissa at 984-8291 OR mthibodeaux@eastbayou.org.
