Open my eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.

Have you ever wished you could better understand what you are reading in the Bible? Open My Eyes is a hands-on workshop designed to help ordinary Christians learn how to study, apply, and share God’s Word with clarity and purpose. Through practical instruction, guided exercises, and interactive discussion, participants will learn an accessible approach to personal Bible study and family discipleship. Whether you are new to studying Scripture or looking to strengthen your current habits, this workshop is for you.
The 8-hr workshop will emphasize learning by doing. Approximately 40% of the time will be teaching and demonstration, while 60% will be guided practice, discussion, and application. Participants will leave having completed multiple Bible-study exercises rather than simply hearing lectures about Bible study.
When: Fri–Sat, Jul 24–25 (See Schedule Below)
Where: FCC Greeneville (1130 Temple Street)
Who For: Anyone who wants to learn to study, apply, and share God's Word
Who By: Scott Wakefield, Lead Pastor at fccgreene.org
Cost: $40 (covers 3 meals and materials)
Note: Everyone must bring a Study Bible (i.e., with study notes), whether digital or print. We suggest the ESV (English Standard Version) Study Bible. You can buy one for $20 ($55 retail) at the registration link below, at the workshop itself, or in The Hub on a Sunday morning!
If cost is hindering you from attending, please reach out to us at office@fccgreene.org.
