'A Closer Walk' Women's Ministry 2010
1 Peter 3:3-4 "Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God."

“Counsel from the Cross”
'Connecting Broken People to the Love of Christ'
“We invite you to join us in a venture of exploration to discover the power to defeat sin and sadness, conflict and bitterness, and self-pity and self-contempt, not by walking beyond the gospel that first brought us into the favor and family of God but rather by moving more deeply into that same gospel.” Dennis Johnson co-author

Our next Book Study begins September 28th:
The Pursuit of God
By A. W. Tozer
“This book is a modest attempt to aid God's hungry children so to find Him. Nothing here is new except in the sense that it is a discovery, which my own heart has made of spiritual realities most delightful and wonderful to me. Others before me have gone much farther into these holy mysteries than I have done, but if my fire is not large it is yet real, and there may be those who can light their candle at its flame.”
A. W. Tozer Chicago, Ill. June 16, 1948.
What a great follow-up to our Counsel from the Cross series this will be. We have learned the power of gospel-centered living now we will see the importance of pursuing God. This will be a challenging and rewarding series.
A limited number of copies of the book “The Pursuit of God” will be available for purchase through the Women’s Ministry.
Bring your Bible, a notebook, pen, your homework assignment along with the book, “The Pursuit of God”
