Hip Hop Bible Study?

Because of some of the ministry that the Shades Mountain Ladies Team did just a few weeks ago, my eyes were opened to the need for a deeper, more challenging Bible Study for our core ladies of Capricorn Church. I saw that the current Women's Ministry Leader (Gail) was burned out and had her plate totally full. So, after talking with Gail and our pastor and pastor's wife, I'm now leading our ladies in Bible Study on Tuesday nights (2 weeks of the month) and the other two weeks, Gail will lead a 'social night' or prayer time for the ladies.
Last week we began our study! We're doing 'He Speaks to Me' by Priscilla Shirer. It's a video-based study (like Beth Moore) with lots of homework. Our ladies were already challenged by the first video and discussion we had! I think this is going to bring great growth in the Lord which I hope translates to their children growing and families becoming closer to the Lord!
Tonight was Gail's night to lead... however, she decided we'd do something different. She asked me to lead ... AEROBICS. Yes, aerobics. She brought Hip Hop Abs! We told the ladies to wear comfortable clothes and come ready to move! The night was hilarious. I stood in front- mostly to keep from being distracted by my own laughter from the situation. We all laughed and laughed as we looked around the room at each other. I loved what a 'bonding' experience and memory this was!



Please keep my precious Capricorn Ladies in prayer. Not only because they may be sore tomorrow (ha!) but because they are the foundation of our church. They are already a blessing to me!
