2020 has definitely been a year of shocking upheaval and change. Although the change has been difficult to face, each of us has the opportunity to introduce positive change into our lives this year as well. Growing in the knowledge and love of God is always a positive change and every single one of us has room to grow in our faith. Difficult and challenging times are the very circumstances that God can use to refine His people. One of the best ways to draw closer to Jesus Christ is to study the Bible in the company of other women. Women’s ministry leaders at Vast are looking at many options for the varying needs of our ladies in the middle of this pandemic and we hope that you will take a few minutes to complete this survey so we can find a way for you to participate in making 2020 your year to increase your engagement with and knowledge of God’s Word.
 
Leaders have selected two different studies for this year, and we are excited to offer morning and evening versions of both studies! The first is a book by Kay Arthur titled “Lord, Heal My Hurts.” This study looks at Scripture for answers to issues affecting relationships and emotional healing including God’s sovereignty, spiritual warfare, anger, forgiveness and bitterness — an in-depth look at God as the One who heals. The second is a study of the book of Romans, written by women at Good Shepherd Community Church. This is an inductive Bible study (reading Scripture and making observations, led by questions), meant to lead women into the foundations of the Christian faith as revealed in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
