We are excited to begin our Fall Women’s Bible study with “The Chosen”, a DVD series which brings to life the people and stories we have read about in the New Testament.

This 8-week program portrays Jesus and His chosen disciples in such a realistic way that the audience feels like they are right there as it happens. “The Chosen” is Bible based and is not like a Hollywood movie. The background stories of Mary Magdalene, Matthew, Peter and Nicodemus, to name a few, are so enlightening. These names that we have read about in the Bible become real and we find that we can relate to them here and now. If you have never seen an episode or even if you have already viewed “The Chosen”, please join us on Monday evenings, and you will not be disappointed. One member who has seen Season 1 says “At the end of each episode, I am left wanting more.” In the words of Amanda and Dallas Jenkins, the creators of “The Chosen”, “While intimately connected to ‘The Chosen’ TV series, we hope our character based approach in this Bible study will get readers more deeply connected to Jesus. After all, Jesus – the One foretold in the Old Testament and affirmed in the New – is the One doing the choosing. And when we see Him through the eyes of those who actually met Him – the people He called while ministering on earth – we can be changed and impacted in the same way they were. Which begs the question: What does it mean to be chosen?”

We meet on Monday evenings, starting promptly at 7 pm in the Lounge. No books are necessary. Just bring your love for Jesus and a desire to know Him deeper. Come a little early to meet new, or catch up with, old friends. Questions? Please contact Ellen McCormack at 518-859-2533(cell) or mccormack.ellen@yahoo.com .
