Women
“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” Proverbs 31:26
Are you looking for a group of women who serve God together? Are you looking to deepen your relationship with God while building relationships with other Christian women? Are you new in your faith and looking for a mentor?
The main focus of our Women’s Ministry is Ladies’ Bible Study (LBS). As women who love and desire to know more about God’s Word, we believe that as we sit across the table from a sister in Christ at LBS, we have the opportunity to help our friend and sister grow in her spiritual walk. We use Bible study guides that challenge us to delve into a deeper understanding of the Bible. A few topics we have studied are Women of the Bible, Proverbs 31, Attributes of God, Ecclesiastes, Philippians, and Evangelism.
Women are a cherished heart of the community, and we believe they benefit from special times designed just for them. Success in the Christian life is usually better achieved in a group. A woman will be encouraged, focused on her faith and God’s truth.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” Proverbs 31:25
We believe in addition to nourishing ourselves with God’s Word and spending time in prayer, women also need the nourishment that comes from spending time with one another. We need hope, encouragement, support, love, hard questions, and wise advice. We talk, laugh, cry, share the daily joys in our lives but, we are also honest about the stresses and struggles we encounter. In short, we come together to mentor, support, and encourage each other, to love the broken-hearted, to pray for the hurting, and to feed the hungry.
TUESDAY MORNING
The women divide into groups with a leader and co-leader, and the groups take turns bringing a breakfast at our weekly study consisting of an abundance of food that is certain to please all palates! After breakfast, announcements, and prayer, we begin our Bible study.
MONDAY EVENING
The women have a small group with whom they meet monthly to have communal prayer and participate in a Bible Study.
Spring and Christmas Brunch
These are two special Tuesday morning sessions to which women who do not usually attend LBS are invited. The brunches are a special time of reflection, testimonies, encouragement, friendship, singing, worshipping, enjoying food, and door prizes.
Mission Projects
We usually have two different mission projects, one in the fall session of LBS and another in the winter session. As a group, we decide on a project which can be local, such as collecting sleepers for Basically Babies, or international such as Medical Missions International, Option Ultrasound, or Church of God missions in Bolivia.
