Hello everyone, my name is Glenys and I live in West Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. I will be 65 later this year and I am very new to Bible Study, so I am excited about this my first internet course and hoping that I can learn a lot from it and also from the other members of the group. I committed myself to God in July of last year and now enjoy helping where ever I can in our Church, including doing the Powerpoint programmes that put the words of the hymns etc. onto the wall for services. I love learning and have discovered that the more I learn the more I love God... also the more I learn the more the Lord teaches me.
