So, I got an invite on facebook from the woman who is the teacher at a local BSF class in Lake Oswego... she had let me know a while back that BSF will now be offering childcare for children under 2 years old which is a brand new policy!!! I'm so excited b/c I had originally quit going since I could not find weekly childcare for Asher when he was little... plus, our whole car situation has not allowed me to go either.
Anyway, BSF International is an amazing organization that truly teaches God's word in a straightforward and effective manner. I learned so much while attending the years I went. They offer introduction classes the 1st week of each month and the infant childcare program begins January 26th. I would really like to go but I have no car!!! I'm posting this for 2 reasons: 1- in the hopes that I can get someone to come with me and give me a ride while also attending and 2- that more of you look into BSF and begin participating in this amazing ministry. While some may go and think it seems "strict" I've discovered that all their rules are in place to allow God to work without hindering one another by our perceptions and ideas.
It's an intense study, 6 days of homework each week, but seriously, I learned more at that study each week than one month or more of sermons (no offense Steve, it's just a participatory study and not only a sermon). MaryAnne Noack teaches the Tuesday morning class in Lake Oswego at the Lutheran church and she is amazing too!! I love hearing her teach and her honesty always inspires me to truly seek after God. The class starts at 9:15am and ends about 11:30. Please, if you have any interest, contact me and at least come to the introduction class and one real class after that!
The class is pretty straightforward and very structured... meet and sing 2 hymns, hear a small intro, break into small groups to discuss lesson from previous week, meet as a whole group again, sing 1 hymn, lecture, get new lesson, repeat! Let me know if you're interested in attending! The first time you go you'll need to find childcare but every week after that you just drop them off and they'll get to learn a lesson and a bible verse that goes along with our study. Like I said, please let me know if you're interested, I know you'll be blessed by it!!!
