Women to Study

Along with the 13 week scripture challenge we have chosen 13 women in the scriptures that we would like to study.  We want to study the woman/women, her background, her traits, etc.  and then use those things as a study topic for the week.  I believe as we read and learn about our female heritage it will increase our testimonies of our divine role as women and help us gain strength through the trials that we face. 

Here is our schedule:

Jun 29-Jul 5     Samson's Mother 

Jul 6-12           Women at Christ's Tomb
Jul 13-19         Abigail
Jul 20-26         Mary, Mother of Christ
Jul 27-Aug 2    Rebekah
Aug 3-9           Woman at the well
Aug 10-16       Puah and Shiphrah
Aug 17-23       Queen of King Lamoni

Aug 24-30       Eve
Aug 31-Sep 6  Deborah
Sep 7-13          Emma
Sep 14-20        Ruth
Sep 21-27        Esther
