We are an interdenominational group of women who gather together weekly during the school calendar year to study the Bible from a Christian perspective. In 1997, four women decided to meet at a home on Bright Pond Lane in Reston to examine the Old Testament book of Proverbs. Seven years later, registration grew to over one hundred. By the time we celebrated our tenth anniversary, over three hundred women had walked through our doors. Some of us are seasoned in Bible Study and some of us are new to it all. We are a loving, friendly group of women who realize our need for God's guidance in our lives. We happily welcome friends, neighbors, family and co-workers. Also, we have quarterly socials and host an annual Christmas celebration called
The Bright Pond Bible Study is taught, coordinated, and supported by volunteers. There are no added costs other than the books and materials we cover during the particular semester. This is a fun, casual, practical, social and inspirational time. What busy woman doesn’t need some refreshment for her heart, mind & soul? Come and be encouraged. You will sense God’s love!
Being that we’ve outgrown three homes and two churches, we have now moved to Oakbrook Church. We are grateful to be able to use this beautiful facility located on Reston Parkway and Baron Cameron Avenue. Child care is pending—please call ahead.
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds.

Blessed is the one who reads the word, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it.
