Today we're having our second session of the Vicar's Bible Study. This group meets every Thursday at noon to study the scriptures with the Vicar. Currently we're studying the story of Ruth.
Ruth's story is worth reading for its storytelling value. It's a story of two women who become widowed and bond with each other for survival. It encompasses grief and loss, the bonds of human affection, grit and pluck, the response of a righteous man, and a love story of sorts.
At our first session, we began to learn how we'll work together. I enjoyed it tremendously and I hope we'll continue with the same sense of inquiry, wonder, and exploration. I usually try to craft a series of questions that help us explore the text and go behind the text so we can relate it to our own lives today.
A good small group is a joy and a treasure. I think we've got a good one here, and I hope we'll build a strong sense of community among ourselves.
