My pastor will be doing the Bethel Bible Series beginning this fall and is encouraging me to participate. It's a 2 hour weekly class that lasts for 2 years.

Has anyone done this series? What are some helpful hints to get through it? My brain isn't what it used to be for memorizing things!

I went through it 28 years ago (I was to be a trainer in our congregation, but I fooled them and went to seminary! ;) ). The memory work is linked to a unique painting for each class. So, you will look at the painting and associate each item with a topic. Good way to memorize. Also, if done correctly this gives you a good overview of the Bible and specifically the themes as they unfold.

Wish you well on it.

Well, the Bethel class has started and we've already gone through 2 weeks and have just finished reading Genesis. Good class so far. Not as intense as everyone says it would be...YET! :sorry:

There is a lot of memory work, but since I began substituting at the high school for study hall, I have time to sit and memorize my cards during class since there is nothing else to do! I get my homework done fast that way!

Anyway, if anyone else gets a chance to do the Bethel series, go for it.

I am glad to see Bethel is still around, I took it many years ago and wish I could take it again. It is an excellent Bible Study.

Hi! Welcome!!

So far we've had one quiz and one test. Not too bad. It's just there's a ton of memorizing!! Any helpful hints on memorizing everything?? :wave:

Yes, start with the first word, then move to the second.

Actually memorize in groups of threes, repeated three time, then add three more (so six) and repeat three times. Do that three times each day and at the end of the week you will have it all memorized. Review regularly and after weeks you will never forget.
