Thursday Bible studies are discussion sessions open to anyone and attended by Christians from Fairfields and other churches. Regular attendees purchase study guide books. There are generally extra copies for the use of guests or folks who are ‘trying out’ the studies to gauge their interest. Walk-ins are welcome.
Between meetings, they read the lesson and at the meetings they discuss the text and questions. Discussion topics often center around their personal experiences and challenges in applying Biblical principles to their daily lives. They can go well beyond the text and have fostered a supportive, caring and honest group atmosphere.
Over the past couple of years they have completed studies of several New and Old Testament books, and began Ephesians in September 2018. In addition to the flexible structure outlined above the group enjoys laughter, sharing about families and other facets of their lives, and being together. Often they go to lunch after the meetings, and join in other social activities.
Daytime meetings are not convenient to everyone and Fairfields is prepared, and eager, to form other study groups that could get together in the evenings, weekends, or whenever and wherever it’s convenient.
