COMING UP:

LADIES‘ EVENING SMALL GROUPS
Ladies’ Book Club will be studying a few different topics next semester. Our hope is that you will find a group that will help you grow in community and relationship with Jesus. Sign up for a book study in the cafe and we’ll contact you to get you plugged into a group!
Women of the Bible This study focuses on women of the Bible. Each chapter includes an introduction to each woman, major Scripture passages, study materials, and cultural backgrounds. As you immerse yourself in the lives of these Bible women, you’ll see more and more places where your life intersects with theirs.
Women of the Word Now that we have studied Women of the Bible, it’s time to become Women of the Word! Join us as we learn how to study the Bible with both our hearts and our minds. This book will equip you to engage God’s word in a way that trains your mind and transforms your heart.
M is for Mama This book helps women humbly and gracefully rise to the high calling of motherhood without settling for mediocrity or losing their minds in the process. Mama, you are worthy of the awesome responsibility God has given you, it’s time to start believing you can live up to it!
Guarded by Christ (Tuesday night Crochet Group) Knowing the God who rescues and keeps us. This book guides women through a series of practical mental shifts to help you live strong in the Lord rather than an unending search that leads to anxiety. We all need maturity in Christ that prepares us not just to endure anything, but to live from the strength and peace of Jesus in every season.
