The Pros and Cons of Having a Mid-week Bible Study
Based on the poor attendance for our mid-week Bible study, Roger and I are considering cancelling it altogether. Here are some basic reasons for either keeping it or cancelling it.
| Pros | Cons |

| 2. Builds Christian fellowship and friendship. | 2. Takes up too much time. |
| 3. Provides a time to offer God worship and praise. | 3. Creates conflict with my spouse. |
| 4. A good witness towards non-believers. | 4. Costs too much for travel. |
| 5. Opportunity to invite someone to a Bible study. | 5. Takes away from my relaxation time. |
| 6. Provides an opportunity for members to pray for each other. | 6. Have to rush supper. |
| 7. Strengthens faith and ability to resist sin. | 7. Don’t like being out at night. |
| 8. Provides spiritual “break” between Sundays. | 8. Interferes with our leisure activities. |
