New women’s Bible study held at NVB Church

A new women’s Bible study is being held at North Valley Baptist Church, a Family Life Fellowship, according to Pastor David
Lamberson.

It is being led by member Sharon Camp and is held each Thursday morning at the church starting at 9:30 p.m. with coffee and fellowship; study from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. All women from the community are invited to bring their Bibles and attend.

A study of the book of Ephesians is current, with emphasis on “the Christian home and how it relates to the work of the Holy Spirit,” “the strategy of Satan and how we can be victorious over him” and “each Christian’s responsibility in light of our great wealth in Christ.” According to Camp, her desire is “to get women excited about Bible study and able to apply the truths learned in their everyday life.” The purpose of the study is to increase knowledge of the Bible and understanding its meaning in daily lives. Prayer is an integral part of the sessions. There will be a time for witnessing and applications of the truths that are learned.

Camp is the wife of a pastor, Scott Camp. They have led a number of churches over the years. She has lead Bible studies for over 30 years in Orange County, the Bay Area and Denver, Colo. She worked for Promise Keepers at the National Headquarters in Denver, Colo., and was project manager for Stand-in-the-Gap Million Man gathering in Washington, D.C. “Sharon is a wonderful teacher,” attendee Jeannie Fletcher stated. “She has a great heart for what she does.”

The church is located at 345 David Ave. Those interested in more information may call the church at 527-0543.

Enjoy the spiritual advice of Dungy

Last year's NFL Super Bowl winning coach for the Indianapolis Colts Tony Dungy recently wrote a book called, Quiet Strength, Men's Bible Study. The book will be presented at First Southern Baptist Church at 585 Kimball in Red Bluff beginning on Nov. 3 at 9 a.m.

Men who are interested in Dungy's philosophy and spiritual strength are urged to attend.
Dungy says of the Game Plan session, "When I was fired from Tampa Bay, I knew that my game plan needed to change. I had planned to be there much longer than I was. And I knew a change would be difficult for my family. But God's plans were different, and I quickly learned the importance of following God's plan, and glorifying Him no matter where I am. This section of the Bible study will challenge you to find God in the midst of frustrated plans."
The first session will be led by Kyle Turner, principal of Foothill High School. He has also coached at Shasta College and for the UC Davis Aggies. Pastor Tom Turner, a former high school coach, who was fortunate enough to coach several NFL players during their youth, strongly recommends this study.
Following the Game Plan session will be weekly studies defining Real Strength, Success, Security, Significance and the Legacy men would like to leave. All men are invited to attend.
For further information you can reach Pastor Tom at (530) 227-7173.
