Womens' Events

Bible Studies

Small Group Bible Studies are held Tuesday Mornings 9:15-11:00am and Tuesday Evenings 6:45-8:30pm at the church. Tuesday Bible Studies are a great way to connect with other women as we study God's word. See more information below.

Summer Bible Study: June 12th-July 31st 7-8:30pm This summer we are going to dive into God's word by going through Beth Moore's latest study on the book of James: Mercy Triumphs. Even though summer can be busy and travels may take you in and out of town, we encourage you to come when you can. There will be several study options available for those who would like to do the "homework" and those who would prefer to only watch the video and participate in discussion. Books are available on the Women's Ministry Table for $20. We look forward to seeing you there!

Conversations: A Safe Place to Talk About Difficult Realities

Several times each year, women come to a safe place and join with other women to talk about real struggles in their lives and our culture. Past topics have included:Sexual Addiction/Pornography; Loss and Longing through Miscarriage/Infertility; Intimacy in Marriage; Launching Children.

Gatherings

Large Group Gatherings provide opportunities to meet new people and also see old friends. Larger groups may enjoy a movie night or an outing to see a Broadway play. Seasonal gatherings offer opportunities to celebrate and to enjoy connecting with other women.

Upcoming Gatherings:

Women's Worship Night, Wednesday May 9, 7:30-9pm. Join us in the Worship Center for an evening of lifting our voices together in worship.

Retreats

Retreats provide a wonderful setting for growth, reflection, and fellowship. Weekend Retreats are offered yearly. Several one-day Mini Retreats are also planned each year.

"Through Bible study, retreats and other special events, we not only learn from God's Word, but we can encourage and help one another in faith and equip ourselves to "fight the good fight" together. There is something about that shared bond of faith that draws even introverted women (like me!) to open up and want to be a part of this special community."

~Mother of Teenagers

Fall Retreat: Longing For Rest August 24th - 25th (Friday 6:45-9pm with late night options, and Saturday 8:15-11:30am) We don't have to look far to realize we are tired. We are busy, stressed pulled in many directions and longing for a place to let down, connect with others and be refreshed in the Lord. This retreat has been designed to meet these needs.  Come worship, rest and play with us for a weekend. Cost: $10. Our own Judy Barlett and Tricia Agan will be sharing with us.
