Register for Sweeter Than Chocolate!


OK girls, are we ready to partake of that which is Sweeter Than Chocolate? If you are just joining us, welcome! Please make sure you have read the August 24th posting before registering. To register - simply e-mail me your first name, the city, state/province, and country where you are presently residing by Thursday, September 1oth, 2009.

Local girls, register by Monday, September 1st and I will be able to order your books with no additional shipping charges.

For our Canadian girls that are not local, you can order your Sweeter Than Chocolate! workbooks through Precept Ministries by calling 877 234 2030 - United States girls phone Precept Ministries at (800) 763 8280. Allow 10 days for delivery.

For a limited time only the Canadian and American cost of the study is the same - please contact me if you have any questions, and if you order too close to the September 14th starting date, I can e-mail out to you a PDF of the first lesson to use until your workbook arrives.

For a variety of reasons, many girls will opt to fly solo for this study, while others will want to meet weekly within the context of a study group. By all means, gather a few girls together for a Sweeter Than Chocolate! weekly Bible Study, and if you are of a mind to, take a picture of your group and send it in! I will be posting a personal video message each Monday with my own insights, as well as a few interactives that you can do within your own group to deepen your study time together. Whatever day you choose to meet, first watch the video and then start your discussion time and enjoy together, that which is Sweeter Than Chocolate!

On Mondays, the Comment Cafe transforms into the Bible Study Cafe! This is where the Sweeter Than Chocolate! girls will gather to ask questions, share insights and enjoy fellowship with one another. Bible Study Cafe is just not to be missed!

Now, here are a few practical tips to help you get started. You will need a Bible (I use a NASB but a NIV, King James Version or New King James Version is fine), a notebook of some kind, coloured pencils, a highlighter and of course your Sweeter Than Chocolate! workbook. I have added a button on the website sidebar which will lead you to any study helps that you may need to use, just scroll down until you see the opened Bible, click on it and you are in to the Study Helps Library!

There are a few rules of etiquette for each guest and participant of the Sweeter Than Chocolate! On-Line Study - please review these important rules and make sure you have a clear understanding before you join us in the Bible Cafe.

Bible Cafe Rule Number One: Respecting the Copyright of the Authors
It is essential to respect the copyright of the individual authors we are studying. You are asked to please exclude specific book references and published materials from your posts. In order to participate you will need to purchase the individual workbook necessary for this On-Line Study, then join us in an active discussion. We can’t publish their work, videos, etc. without written permission from the publishers. Please respect the work of the authors.

Bible Cafe Rule Number Two: Respect Privacy of Others
Many times in Bible Cafe we share information as we ask for prayer or in our general conversation. Please consider and respect the privacy of individuals and please ensure your post does not violate their privacy with too much detailed information! Bible Cafe is designed to be an effective and safe place to meet and fellowship together.

Bible Cafe Rule Number Three: All Posts will be Moderated
If your post does not appear, there may have been a violation of copyright or privacy. You may need to rewrite the post to meet the Bible Cafe rules. If you continue to violate the rules, you will be prohibited from posting comments.

Bible Cafe Rule Number Four: No Self-Promoting
Bible Cafe is not the place to sell products or to network for business opportunities. Bible Cafe is continually being filled with committed women who desire to study the Word of God in a safe and convenient environment and to leisurely indulge in that which is Sweeter Than Chocolate!
So register today, order your workbooks and join us, beginning September 14th for our On-Line Group Bible Study... Sweeter Than Chocolate!

WendyL says...count me in too!!And Deb, Cat & I want to be in your group, hopefully on Thursday mornings........See y'all Monday!

Hi girls....I'm back...again and looking forward to the new bible study starting up next month. It looks to be an exciting adventure. I like the concept of learning from the begining on how to do the inductive study. Like you Debbie I need the interaction and fellowship of my sisters, so count me in for any weekly get togethers. It is good to get back home as I missed everyone and so much of "Summer in the Psalms" has slipped by me.

Several times while we were away I saw God at work ( and often in me) and my heart smiled at His presence and I was(am) so thankful. It is comforting to know He will always be there.
Nice to hear from you Wendy L and looking forward to seeing you and Cat on Monday.

Now, about the cute little sandal thing....will large pink thongs (I think they are now called flip flops) do!!!!!

See everyone next Monday......

Cathie said...

Welcome back Edna! So glad that you defined the 'thong/sandal' thing - could have had a whole other theme going for the gathering!

Looking forward to seeing you sweet self in just a few days!

Cathie said...

Thata' girl Wendy - get your request in early! I can hardly wait to watch you girls get organized with the Study Groups!
