Welcome Letter
Nancy McGuirk, founder and Teaching Director of WCBS welcomes you.
Welcome friend!

Bible Study site, I’m so glad you’re here!
Women’s Community Bible Study (WCBS) is a group of nearly 500 women from different churches and denominations, ages, and ethnic backgrounds who share three common goals: a desire
to know God better; to live fruitful…

Praise and Worship
Paula Smith - Worship Leader
Sometimes it takes having to sit down and specifically write about something before you realize what kind of impact it has had on your life. Years ago, on Christmas Eve, I met
the leader of a women’s Bible study while we were ministering in our own ways to the women at a local shelter. She invited me to sing at her Bible study, held at a large Presbyterian
church. Although I originally attended only a few times a year, our relationship grew because of our love for the Father and one another.

The Service of the Saintly
Nancy McGuirk
Bible Commentator
... Anna ... never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. Luke 2:36-37
Many years ago, a woman who sewed clothing for a living also took care of a little boy each day. As she sewed she shared her faith with this small boy, sowing seeds by her words and deeds that she prayed would bear fruit one day. The actions of this humble woman did indeed bear fruit, for the young boy she looked after was Billy Sunday who grew up to become one of America’s greatest revival preachers.

How Do I Become a Christian?
Finding Your Way to God
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Two distinct feelings can surface when we are lost. First is the feeling of hopelessness that comes when you don’t have a clue which way to turn. Who hasn’t felt that way in an
unfamiliar city or neighborhood? You know your destination is reachable, but you know you’ll never make it without help.
The second feeling is frustration. You ask someone for help, follow their directions, and after many twists and turns realize they gave you misleading information. You trusted
their guidance, but with a frustrating result: you were still…

What are the problems in prayer?
No one said communication was easy. We know it isn’t at the human level, and there can even be problems when we talk to God. Here are some issues to watch out for when you pray—and how to resolve them:

Praising God
Susan E. Kyle
I will thank you Lord, in front of all the people. I will sing praises
among the nations. Psalm 108:3
I am a vessel of God. Through my times of hurt and sorrow,
He has filled me with peace, compassion, and the strength to endure.
I am indebted to Him: “In my distress I prayed to the Lord,
and the Lord answered me and rescued me” (Psalm 118:5). As I
submit to God, I am willing to give back all that I possibly can in
gratitude for all God had given me.
