The Network of Presbyterian Women in Leadership announces a new women's Bible study for 2010-2011: Revelation: Awaiting the Bridegroom

Wars, and rumors of wars. Famine, plague, earthquake, political and societal upheaval. These words describe not only our fearful expectation of the end times, but our real experience of the current times – and the real experience of the times in which the apostle John wrote what we’ve come to know as the Book of Revelation.

At its heart, Revelation is not about revealing dates or names of nation states, but rather about revealing its author and his presence and ways with us, now and in eternity. The bridegroom, Jesus Christ, is writing a love letter to his bride, the Church, with the intention of encouraging us as we wait for his return.

In this nine-lesson study, we will get an aerial view of this world from God’s perspective. We will learn to hear his voice, recognize his ways, and respond to his Spirit’s shaping, so that when he returns in all his glorious wedding raiment, we his bride, will be ready.
