What a beautiful, early-fall day! I was just out watering my garden and enjoying the warm sun in the cool air, the sounds of bird calls echoing through our forest. A little piece of heaven! And don't we all need a little peace of heaven? Here's hoping you'll find time to experience that at some point during the day.
Coming soon, to a Bible study near you--God Is Just Not Fair. Ladies, I'm really excited about this new study, as I'm pretty sure we all deal with some of the following thoughts from time to time--Is God fair? Can He change? If He really cared, wouldn't He get me out of this situation? Those, and many more questions will get our minds and hearts engaged as we meet together to study the Word this year.
We'll start off next Wednesday night, September 17th, at the church. The Wednesday night group is affectionately known as Common Grounds, and meets at 6:30 PM. I try to get us out of there as close to 8 as possible. Feel free to bring dinner with you if you're kind of rushed making it after work. Would someone like to volunteer to bring a treat next week? Let me know if you would.
The following day, Thursday, at 9:30 AM, The Perk will begin our year. We work together to provide child care for this, with a different mother each week (known as the Mother In Charge--or MIC) assisted by Danielle Anderson providing care for your children. Who would like to volunteer for this coming Thursday, the 18th? And I'd also love to have someone sign up to bring treats that morning too. You know, Bible study just goes better with a cup of coffee or tea, and a little something to nibble on! (I'll have to do extensive research to find a verse to support that idea, but it sure seems to be true!)
Perhaps you've never attended our Bible studies before. Well, this is the perfect time to jump in! Everyone is at different stages of their Christian walk, and as we share, we learn from each other. Our studies are very interactive with lots of discussion among the teaching. I encourage you to pick one of these days (the same lesson is taught at both groups) and commit to showing up each week. I think you'll benefit spiritually and emotionally as you join other women around God's word.
Your Women's Ministry Team is meeting tonight to begin planning some of the activities we'll offer throughout the year. So be looking for up-coming news about those!
Until next week,
Sherrie Ashcraft, Women's Ministry Director
