Finding a Time That Works for Everyone: A World Time Zone Guide for Our Bible Study & Book Club
If you've ever tried to schedule a Zoom call with friends across three continents, you know the pain of "wait, is that your 7pm or my 7pm?" Since our group has members scattered around the world, we put together this simple reference chart based on U.S. Eastern Time, so everyone can quickly convert our meeting time to their own local clock.
A Quick Note on EST vs. EDT
The U.S. East Coast actually uses two different times depending on the season:
EST (Eastern Standard Time) — UTC−5, used in winter (early November to mid-March)
EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) — UTC−4, used in summer (mid-March to early November)
Right now (summer), we're on EDT. The chart below shows offsets from both, so you can use whichever applies when you're reading this.
World Time Zone Chart (Relative to U.S. Eastern Time)
Note: Some countries (like parts of Europe and Australia) observe daylight saving on opposite schedules from the U.S., so offsets can shift by an extra hour at certain times of year. When in doubt, a tool like worldtimebuddy.com or timeanddate.com will give you the exact live conversion.
Using This for Our Meetings
Our summer meeting time is 10:00 AM EDT. Here's roughly what that looks like elsewhere:
10:00 AM EDT → 7:00 AM in Los Angeles
10:00 AM EDT → 8:00 AM in Denver/Phoenix
10:00 AM EDT → 9:00 AM in Chicago/Mexico City
10:00 AM EDT → 11:00 AM in Halifax/Santo Domingo
10:00 AM EDT → 12:00 PM (noon) in São Paulo/Buenos Aires
10:00 AM EDT → 3:00 PM in London
10:00 AM EDT → 4:00 PM in Paris/Berlin/Madrid/Rome
10:00 AM EDT → 5:00 PM in Athens/Cairo/Helsinki
10:00 AM EDT → 6:00 PM in Moscow/Istanbul
10:00 AM EDT → 7:00 PM in Dubai
10:00 AM EDT → 7:30 PM in New Delhi/Mumbai
10:00 AM EDT → 9:00 PM in Bangkok/Jakarta
10:00 AM EDT → 10:00 PM in Beijing/Singapore/Manila
10:00 AM EDT → 11:00 PM in Tokyo/Seoul
10:00 AM EDT → 12:00 AM (midnight) in Sydney/Melbourne
10:00 AM EDT → 2:00 AM in Auckland (next day — a tough one for our New Zealand friends!)
When We Meet at 10:00 AM EST (Winter)
Once daylight saving ends in the fall, our same 10:00 AM slot shifts to EST instead of EDT. Here's how that lines up for everyone:
10:00 AM EST → 7:00 AM in Los Angeles
10:00 AM EST → 8:00 AM in Denver/Phoenix
10:00 AM EST → 9:00 AM in Chicago/Mexico City
10:00 AM EST → 11:00 AM in Halifax/Santo Domingo
10:00 AM EST → 12:00 PM (noon) in São Paulo/Buenos Aires
10:00 AM EST → 3:00 PM in London
10:00 AM EST → 4:00 PM in Paris/Berlin/Madrid/Rome
10:00 AM EST → 5:00 PM in Athens/Cairo/Helsinki
10:00 AM EST → 6:00 PM in Moscow/Istanbul
10:00 AM EST → 7:00 PM in Dubai
10:00 AM EST → 8:30 PM in New Delhi/Mumbai
10:00 AM EST → 10:00 PM in Bangkok/Jakarta
10:00 AM EST → 11:00 PM in Beijing/Singapore/Manila
10:00 AM EST → 12:00 AM (midnight) in Tokyo/Seoul (next day)
10:00 AM EST → 1:00 AM in Sydney/Melbourne (next day)
10:00 AM EST → 3:00 AM in Auckland (next day)
Notice most of these land an hour later than the EDT version above — that's the one-hour "fall back" difference between EST and EDT. Worth a reminder post when the clocks change, since it's easy for members to show up an hour off if they forget the shift!
A 10 AM Eastern start works nicely for most of North America, Europe, Africa, and even the Middle East and India during their afternoon/evening. It's tougher for members in East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, where it lands late at night — something to keep in mind if we ever want to rotate meeting times to be fairer to everyone.
A Small Encouragement
It can feel like a hassle to coordinate across so many time zones, but there's something beautiful about it too — a group of people scattered across the globe, tuning in at wildly different hours, all gathering around the same passage of Scripture or the same chapter of a book. Different clocks, same table. We hope this chart makes that a little easier to plan for!

The New Birth is the most wonderful Miracle to begin with! Romans 10:9-10 shows us how to receive the new birth.
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
This begins the first Miracle for you. NOW, you have unlimited resources available to you.

7. We believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, via the shed blood and broken body, and that healing is included in the redemption and available at any time during life.
8.We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as outlined in Romans 10:9-10. We believe that every born-again person has the ability to operate all nine of the manifestations of the holy spirit. Also, we believe in the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. (Ephesians 4:7)

N.O.W – No Ordinary Woman
No Ordinary Woman.
N.O.W.—Woman, God created you to be more than ordinary.
He created you to be Extra-Ordinary.
When you received His gift of Holy Spirit you were no longer just a body and a soul, you became a three-part being of Body-Soul-Spirit; complete, a perfect work through the miracle of the New Birth!
This is our movement, daughter of God, to stand out from the crowd: to boldly proclaim I am His and He is mine. To see signs follow you, to see miracles performed through you, to be His Wonder! To rely only upon your God. To expect only from Him. To be independently dependent on Him alone. He is enough for you.
We are His masterpieces and we radiate with His divine love everywhere we go. You were created to live in this day-time-hour. Created for such a time as this and together we will move mountains!
In Him We Live exists so that women who love God can know and believe that they were born for such a time as NOW.
