Dear Ladies,

Beginning the first week in January, the Ladies' Bible Study will be reading the book, "The Excellent Wife". Martha Peace, a well-known speaker and NANC certified Biblical counselor, has written this book along with a study guide to use while reading it. Since the men were so faithful and diligent in their reading of The Complete Husband and growing in their roles as husband, I thought it would be appropriate if we would do the same. It is my desire and prayer that we would grow in our understanding and application of becoming a better wife for our husbands, our children, our church, and most of all for the glory of God.

This study would take most of next year and I would like to encourage all to attend and to participate. The men rotated leading each time they got together which I think would be beneficial for us as well. I enjoy leading but I also know that when one leads they get more out of the study. Also, I think it would benefit the women to hear from other ladies especially from those who have grown in becoming a godlier wife. Obviously leading is optional, but I would ask you to seriously pray about participating in this study as well as leading at least once.

I will have a sign up sheet in the back for those who want to be part of the study as well as a place for you to check if you need the book and/or study guide. You also can email me and let me know if you would like to participate as well. If childcare is an issue let me know and we will work out something where childcare is provided. I look forward to what God will do to us, in us, and through us next year.

Love in Christ,
Cheryl
