Now that our Girls with Swords study has been completed, what’s next for GCH? \u00a0I’m glad you asked!<\/p>\n

1) \u00a0We are very close to releasing our next online Bible study, titled “I AM<\/strong>“, written by Teresa J. Bolme<\/span>. \u00a0You may have read some of Teresa’s blogs right here, every Monday, for the past 12 weeks, as she blogged for the Girls with Swords study. \u00a0She has spent many hours writing this next study, exclusively for GCH! \u00a0You won’t find this study anywhere else on the World Wide Web!! \u00a0It can only be found HERE! \u00a0If you have not already registered for this study, please CLICK HERE<\/a><\/strong> to be taken to the Registration Page.<\/p>\n

2) “I AM<\/strong>” is in the final editing stages, and we are anticipating the release date of July 3rd. \u00a0When that happens, we will make an announcement right here and give you instructions on how you can purchase and download the study! \u00a0Remember, to purchase the study, all you have to do is make a donation to GCH in ANY AMOUNT<\/strong><\/em> to help us cover the ministry and website costs that we incur; AND this gives us the ability to offer free Bibles to those who don’t have one.<\/p>\n

3) \u00a0When you purchase and download your copy of “I AM<\/strong>“, you will want to store it in a 3-ring binder, or take it to an office supply store to have it bound. \u00a0I am planning to take my study to the office supply store and have them bind it, so it will stay neater and more functional. \u00a0I’m really trying to figure out how I can get an actual signed copy of “I AM<\/strong>” from the author!! (hint<\/span> hint)<\/p>\n

4) \u00a0Everyone who has registered so far has already been placed into our GCH Fellowship Group. \u00a0Please don’t confuse this group with the actual Facebook Chat Room, which is where we will dig deeper into the “I AM”<\/strong>\u00a0study. \u00a0The Fellowship Group is where we…well, fellowship!! \u00a0It’s a place to just let your hair down and have some fun! \u00a0It’s a place to make some new friends, share your favorite recipes, show pictures of your cute little animals, or even the kids\/grandkids. \u00a0We share devotionals, and prayer requests in the Fellowship Group, as well! \u00a0It’s really just a place where faith, friends, and fellowship flourish!<\/p>\n

5) Toward the middle of this week, we will start adding you to the actual study group (Facebook Chat Room<\/strong>). \u00a0THIS is where you will go each day to get that day’s reading assignment, and the link to the blog lesson that is posted for the day. \u00a0You will read the blog, and if you want, you can comment there; but you will come back to the Chat Room<\/strong> to dig a bit deeper into the study, and discuss it more as a group. \u00a0This is an awesome place to really ask your questions about the study, and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you through what is shared in this group!<\/em>\u00a0 If you are not on Facebook, you will just read and comment on our blog each day.<\/p>\n

6) \u00a0You will want to set aside some time every day<\/em>, Monday thru Friday, to check into the FB Chat Room to see what your daily reading assignment is, and t0 find the link to the blog lesson for the day; maybe use this as your devotional time each day. \u00a0A lot of women use the GCH blogs as their morning devotional. \u00a0It’s a great way to start the day! \u00a0One word of advice: \u00a0Don’t give up on the study if you begin to fall behind on the study. \u00a0Just take some time to get caught up, and\/or jump in right where we are in the study, and catch up later! \u00a0Just don’t quit! \u00a0We try to encourage women to stay on board even if you have gotten behind! \u00a0We all do that, but we are here to help you get back on track again!<\/p>\n

What will you need for the study?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. The “I AM<\/strong>” Bible study, of course. \u00a0Without it, it will be impossible to follow along! \u00a0You will need the book!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2. Your Bible<\/p>\n

3. A journal<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Pen & Highlighter<\/p>\n

So let’s run through this one more time:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
