Adult Ministry:
Women's
Women need each other to develop connections and to be in community together. This is a place where you can deepen your relationship with Christ and with other women who seek him. I invite you to participate in any of the Bible studies, special events, or service options that we provide. Our Women’s Ministries teams continually work to offer opportunities that will help “light your path” in your own personal walk with our Lord.
“This is what I have asked God for you: that you will be knit together by strong ties of love, and that you will have the rich experience of knowing Christ with real certainty and clear understanding.” Colossians 2:2

Dates: Begins September 14
Room: SAE 1&2
Leader: Prudy Gorrell
Summary
In the book of Genesis, Jacob made a powerful an poignant statement that has resounded across the ages: “Surely the Lord is in this place and I did not know it!” The modern day version is “God was here and I was out to lunch!” by Dr. James Moore. God comes near to us, but we are so busy, so preoccupied, so set in our ways, or so caught up in our own agenda that we don’t recognize God: we don’t realize when God is here. When we turn ourselves toward Jesus Christ and learn that love is the answer. This study is designed for young women under 50.
