Women's Bible Studies
The Women’s Bible studies at Derwood Bible Studies are doctrinally sound and life changing. We meet together to study God’s Word and in doing so, we draw closer to Him and each other. A certain times of the year we have several studies going on. We come together to laugh, cry, be vulnerable with each other and build friendships. We see Jesus’ hand on our lives as we study and pray for each other during the week.
Here are some opportunities for you to dig deep into the word.
We are excited to let you know that we have three Bible study options for the Fall!

Desiring God’s Own Heart - details
A study of 1 and 2 Samuel (Fall 2024 – Winter 2025)
As summer fades and we head into fall, we invite you to join us for the start of a new bible study where we’ll cover the books of 1 and 2 Samuel. We’ll use the inductive Bible study guide entitled Desiring God’s Own Heart.
The study begins on Tuesday, Sept 10, at 7 PM via zoom with an intro session. We will continue through November 12 as we explore 1 Samuel. We’ll take a break for the holidays, then pick up in January 2025 and complete our study of 2 Samuel from Jan – March.
Each participant should order the study guide, Desiring God’s Own Heart by Kay and David Arthur, at this link so that it arrives prior to the first class on Sept 10.
The study guide teaches us how to observe, interpret, and apply the Word of God in context and requires about 20-30 minutes per day of independent study during the week. Then we’ll come together from 7-8:30 PM on Tuesdays (Sept 10-Nov 12) via zoom to discuss the lesson and encourage each other in the Word of God. We’ll cover topics such as intimacy with God, how to pray effectively, trusting in God’s sovereignty and grace, and how to develop a deeper understanding of God’s heart for us.
The study is meant for both those who are new to Bible study as well as those who have studied the Bible for many years! The richness of God’s Word is a limitless source of knowledge and revelation that we can never exhaust. The study also provides an opportunity to develop relationships with other women who love God’s word and to grow in fellowship with each other.
If you plan to participate, please contact Diane Kummer at 240-672-7580 or dianeskummer@gmail.com no later than Friday, Sept 6 to be placed on the distribution list for class details and information. We hope you can join us!
