Valley Home Fellowship Group Bible Studies

First and foremost, the Valley Home Fellowship Group meets for weekly bible studies. These studies rotate among members' homes. Like most study groups, we focus our studies on a book of the bible, working our way through it week by week. We usually alternate beteween books in the Old and the New Testament.

Fellowship

Our bible studies often start with a dinner, otherwise with a snack; this time lasts from 6:30 or 7:00 to some time around 7:30. Not only does this provide a great time for stragglers to arrive, its unstated but oft fulfilled goal is to provide an opportunity to get to know each other and to encourage each other in faith.

Study

Our studies usually last an hour or so. As a group we work our way through a bible passage, reading and discussing it, while focusing on learning from what God is telling us through the passage.

A group member usually prepares for the study beforehand. This helps to guide the conversation and to bring to life biblical nuances that might be easily overlooked by a bunch of New England gentiles some 2,000 plus years after the fact.

Prayer

How do you think all these mountains got to Vermont and New Hampshire? (Just kidding - we wish we had that much faith!)

Our studies usually open and close in prayer. In opening we are seeking God's guidance and wisdom in understanding His Word. In closing we take the opportunity to pray for group and indidivual needs, as well as to give thanks to God. Without a doubt, the time spent in prayer is as valuable as the time spent in study.

Count Me In!

Our bible study is currently meeting on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 or 7:00 (varies weekly). This allows us to trickle in, catch-up, work our way through a bible passage, close in prayer, and be done around 9(ish).

We are not that tightly wound! Bring whatever version of the Bible you are comfortable with.
