Internet Bible Study – Have you been wanting to be a part of one of CtK's study groups but just can't seem to find the time in your schedule? CtK is developing an Internet based study group that will offer you a chance to be involved any time of the day or night that fits your lifestyle or schedule. The study group site will be a link off of CtK's website. A brief reading discussing the topic of study and some background will be offered, followed with discussion questions for participants to reflect on and respond to. If you are familiar with chat rooms you will have an idea of what this discussion group will be like. All participants will be able to read each other's viewpoints and offer their own. Discussion will continue until the end of the week when a summary is posted to complete the week's topic. Your ideas are always welcome, but especially now while this link is under development. The purpose of this Internet Study Group is to keep those that can not attend services or in-person study groups the ability to participate from anywhere and remain connected with their church family. Email Deb Dominczak at debra.dominczak@alcoa.com with your comments and ideas.
