Walking with Purpose, Scripture Study for Women
The key always for Scripture study/formation and AFF (adult faith formation) is in the planning, implementation, follow through, etc., so that it is not simply “done” episodically or occasionally. A coordinated, comprehensive approach to AFF is necessary, which should be organized by a good, diverse team in order to know the different needs of the people in your parish. Here is a list of AFF programs (introductory, not exhaustive) that you may be interested in employing at your parish:
