What is Walking with Purpose?

Walking with Purpose is a Catholic Women's Bible Study.

I am worried I will not know enough about the Bible.

WWP is a Catholic Bible Study that meets each woman exactly where she is. You will do some self-study with the materials you are given, read scripture and participate in small group discussions.  No one is a Bible scholar and no one is judged or expected to memorize, recite or be tested.  It is a journey of faith and fellowship.

Do you have to share within the group? I won’t know the women.

One of the things most women mention first when describing WWP are the new friends and relationships they form as they share scripture.  The small group creates an atmosphere of trust, solidarity and inspiration.  No one is forced to share, but as your comfort level increases week by week, you may be happy and excited to share your thoughts.

Every Tuesday is a big commitment. Do I need to come each week?

Most women have very little “white space “ in their calendars. God speaks in the silence of prayer and meditation.  View each Tuesday as a gift to yourself—a gift of time.  Time to regroup and grow and be with women who enjoy starting each Tuesday with fellowship and small group study.  Consistency is important, however, all of us miss a week here and there due to family and personal commitments.  Most women involved in WWP will tell you that their WWP group time is their favorite time of the week.

I haven’t practiced my faith or attended Mass in quite a while.

No one will be questioning you.  Your privacy will always be respected. Start by joining today and take it one week at a time.

Can I try a class first before I register?

You have a few options to learn what WWP is all about.  You may participate in a class and sit in with an existing group.  You could also attend a Connect Coffee where a speaker presents a spiritual topic. You are welcome to come and visit anytime throughout the year.

I'm new, so which course should I take?
