Our second workshop will be on the book of 2 Timothy. Anyone is welcome, but if you are new to studying the Bible or do not have a good grasp of healthy Bible study skills, we recommended first taking Workshop #1 – Jonah, which will be offered in August. The Pathways for Women workshops build on the previous workshop and are designed to teach you Bible study skills. You will enjoy short times of training followed by group work. As you interact with other women, practicing the tools, you will appreciate a gentle, encouraging atmosphere to progress in your skill as a student of God’s Word.
We will meet at Siloam Springs Bible Church Fellowship on Friday, September 11 from 6 – 9PM and Saturday, September 12 from 9AM – 4PM. We will provide snacks and drinks throughout the workshop. Lunch will be either a sack lunch you bring or a catered box lunch. We will email a reminder and more details a week or two before the workshop.
Meanwhile, you can get started on the pre-assignment. Remember you will need to complete it before the workshop.
Registration ends on September 4th.
Bring your Bible, notebook, completed pre-assignment, pen or pencil to the workshop.
Pathways Pre-Assignment
We look forward to having you join our Bible training workshop. You will need to complete the following assignments before the workshop. In this program, you will learn to develop good study habits in order to understand, apply, and teach the Word of God well. This pre-assignment is an important step in developing those habits.

2. COMPLETE all the Pathways steps we have studied (listed below) so far on the following passages:
*2 Tim. 2:1-7
*2 Tim. 2:14-19
*2 Tim. 3:14-17
Make a list of GOOD OBSERVATIONS (with commands, repetitions, contrasts, and surprises).
Write an ORIGINAL MESSAGE stating what you think the author’s message was to the original reader(s). What do you think he was emphasizing?
Write a MESSAGE FOR TODAY stating what you think the author’s message is for us today.
Spend time thinking and praying through personal APPLICATIONS.
3. PRAY with us that God would use this time to transform our lives & ministries for His glory.
