New Tuesday Women's Bible Study Group

Christian author Nancy Gainor is initiating a new women’s Bible study group entitled Ladies of Light (LOL). We meet every Tuesday from 9-10:30 in the admin building (beginning September 9, 2025).

Women of all ages are encouraged to attend. Whether you are a beginner who has never read scripture or a seasoned believer with a frayed Bible, you are welcome in this class.  You do not have to be a member of St. Pete First to attend so feel free to invite friends. Participants do not have to commit to the entire year. Join us when you are able and experience Christian fellowship while immersing yourself in God’s Word.

Biblical topics will rotate to add variety and interest. This study will feature various subjects that delve into God’s truth thus enhancing spiritual maturity. Join us as we build a circle of women who share, care, pray and learn together. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will forge friendships and develop a sisterhood of believers shining the light of Christ in our world.

Our new Bible study topic will begin on Tuesday, November 4. Echo the Word of God will be an eight-week course written by Nancy Gainor. This study reveals insights, messages, circumstances, and characteristics of four women and four men who are major and minor prophets in the Bible. God’s truth echoes through the generations and as we read the Bible, His words leap off the delicate page and into our hearts. These chosen individuals have shaped Biblical history, and their fascinating stories allow us to delve into their lives and understand God’s will as it applies to each one of us. The only material necessary is a Bible and a smile.

If interested, please call Nancy at 612-220-4280 or email her at nancygainor@gmail.com. To learn more about Nancy’s books go to nancygainor.com

Our first study was the book of Luke: Luke in the Land - Bible Study Book with Video Access by Kristi McLelland. This series includes seven video sessions shot in Israel and brings the movement of Jesus to life as the lessons are taught on location. Lifeway and Amazon sell the study guide/video for $24.99. What a great way to experience Israel without leaving the comfort of your home. The cost of this first book is higher due to the personalized videos included but be reassured that future materials will be more reasonable or free. Scholarship money is available for book purchase if needed.

“Follow Kristi McLelland through Israel as we study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. Over 7 sessions challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus through teaching videos that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, you'll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everybody.”
