Assignment 2:
Read Ruth 1:16
These words are often quoted during a wedding ceremony, but they were actually said by a young woman to an older woman whom through circumstance and covenant became her family. Please read scripture and answer questions 1. If one is not already married how might Sisterhood prepare you for marriage? 2. If one is already married how might Sisterhood perfect you for marriage?
Assignment 3:
Though not blood sisters Sarah and Hagar are an example of what happens when sisterhood breaks down. Women of different bloodlines but the same color, Sarah and Hagar challenge us to love sisters even in difference.
Note: We understand Hagar was not a bloodline Hebrew but she did sojourn with Sarah and Abraham.
Though Hagar is not a Hebrew this lesson is a metaphor to get us to think about how even Hebrew sisters who are different can treat each other badly and how we need to respect eachother even in difference. Scripture commands us to welcome the stranger and to love our brother (or sister).
While listening ask yourself how do I treat Hebrew sisters who are different from me?
Don’t get focused on what non Hebrew women do to us but ask Yah how you can be a better sister to your fellow Hebrew sister. There is a lesson in everything scripture states.
