Women's Ministries

Mission & Goal
My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Colossians 2:2

Our aim is to connect women for mutual encouragement and growth in faith. Join us in Bible study, and in events and activities as we gather to deepen our relationship with Jesus and with each other.

StoryNight
StoryNight is an evening of fellowship, fun, food and an opportunity to hear one woman's story. Offered bi-annually in March and October, all women are welcome, so bring a friend! Our next StoryNight is scheduled for October 14, 2013. Time flies, so mark your calendars in advance. To hear a past StoryNight recording, scroll down.

The Gathering (Women's Bible Study)
What is it? On Monday evenings and Thursday mornings from September through May, a collection of women’s small groups meet to worship, learn from God’s word, and share in each others’ lives. Our corporate time contains worship and teaching, and then we break into our small groups. Childcare is provided for the Thursday morning group. For more information about current or future Gathering meetings, see our current announcements HERE or contact Bonnie Fearer. Download The Gathering 2012-13 information booklet HERE.

Summer Bible Study for Women
7 Experiment -Staging Your Own Mutiny Against Excess: Women, please join us this summer as we embark on a journey to eliminate excess in our lives through the Jen Hatmaker 7 Experiment study. This study will lead you through a focused fast on seven key areas: food, clothes, spending, media, possessions, waste, and stress. What's the payoff for living such a deeply reduced life? It's the discovery of a greatly increased God, a call toward Christ-like simplicity, and generosity that transcends a social experiment to achieve a radically better existence. We're excited for you to join us for this 8-week study, Wednesdays in the Fellowship Hall at 7:00pm, 7/10 - 8/28. For more information please contact Anna Jordan or Devany Bechler.

Working Moms' Group The juggling act of working and raising children is more the norm than the exception these days. Join us monthly as come together to pray, and to hear from other working moms. For more information, contact Rachel Winslow or Angela D'Amour.

Mentoring The word "mentoring" can sound ominously weighty, but we care deeply about the privilege and responsibility of discipleship. Click HERE to read an article about what we believe, in women's ministries, to be one of our greatest priorities as Christian women. If you would like to be involved in a mentoring/discipleship relationship, please fill out this information sheet, return to Bonnie Fearer, and then contact Maja Greig, Lisa Jolley, or Bonnie Fearer.
