St. V’s Bible Study

Dayton Women in the Word hosts a weekly Bible Study on Thursday mornings for the women staying at St. Vincent de Paul homeless shelter.

God has worked mightily in this area of ministry. It is intended to draw women who are facing difficult situations close to Him. Our St. V’s team holds four rounds of study each year, with eight sessions per round. Additionally, the team hosts two special holiday Bible Study sessions in November and December.

Every week on Thursday morning, our St. V’s team welcomes the guests at the St. Vincent de Paul homeless shelter to attend our Bible study. Our team creates a welcoming environment, setting a place at the table for each participant with a Bible they can take with them, a prayer bookmark, a nametag and card on which to write their prayer requests. The team brings snacks, water, coffee and something sweet to eat.

The Bible Study hour itself has a rhythm. We utilize a whiteboard to capture gratitudes to begin the study, as well as to share the passage for the day, the questions we cover and prayer requests. Our study focuses on the gospels so that each woman can experience the words of Jesus and the good news of the gospel.
