Some suggestions how to use Glad Tidings Bible studies in
your congregation.
For new beginners
Take one Gospel and start with the easiest texts. After five meetings you can
choose any text, and your group will be able to discuss it.
Otherwise you can make a series of Bible Studies around different themes and
for different times.
You can use these themes in your weekly meetings, or in camps, retreats and
so on.
