Events

Blingo was blinged out with success, fun competitiveness, and yummy snacks. The evening glittered with conversation and laughter, prizes were claimed with enthusiasm (BINGO!!), and Embrace Grace shared their ministry with us.

It's a wrap, ladies! Fresh popcorn and sweets, a movie with a message along with lots of laughs, and photo booth fun made for a great Fri-Yay Night at the Movies. The Arlington Arab Women's Center shared about their new ministry and the night closed with a personal testimony from a former muslim teen on how she found Jesus. YAY!!

We had a sweet time of praise, worship, and prayer to wrap up the summer. Gratefulness was a key focus and a personal testimony of God’s goodness was shared. An open mic time provided women the opportunity to pray and share what was on their hearts. Afterwards, frozen yogurt and toppings galore were enjoyed. Lots of smiles, laughter, and conversation were sprinkled into the evening. The Widows Ministry shared their ministry with us and a personal story was the cherry on top!

Summer Studies

The Women of Grace Small Group Studies will begin the week of June 16th. This year we have several study groups you can join to grow in your faith, help thrive in your personal life, and be discipled in understanding the Scriptures. You will also make new friends along the way!

Here are five great Bible study group choices. Whatever tugs on your heart is a good sign that it may be the one for you! The full description is listed here. We pray you join in!

Studies are ordered by day of the week.

“Design for Discipleship”

Hosted by Dianne Guerry.

This group meets on Tuesday evenings for eight weeks, starting June 18th, from 7:00-8:30 pm in the Life Center, room 303. For more information or questions, contact Dianne.

This study will help deepen your intimacy with the Lord through “how-to steps” of having devotions and a deeper prayer life. We will go over different devotional methods and how to make your prayer life more meaningful. It is also about our relationships with those who follow Jesus and what true fellowship is. We will learn how to share the gospel with those who do not yet know Him. Our time in God’s Word, prayer, fellowship, and witnessing help us to make and keep Christ central in our lives.

“Boundaries” by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend

Hosted by Kathi Strawn, with Annie Laing.

This group meets on Tuesday evenings for nine weeks, starting June 18th, from 6:30-8:30 pm in Annie’s home. There will be light snacks for you. A book is required with this study group. For more information or questions, contact Kathi or Annie.

You can uncover the secrets to setting healthy boundaries that provide the framework for rich, productive relationships. Good relationships depend on maintaining effective personal boundaries. But, many people don’t know where to start. For example,

Do you have trouble saying no?

Can you set limits and still be a loving person?

Are you in control of your life?

Do people take advantage of you?

Based on the bestselling book, Boundaries, these nine interactive sessions can make a life-changing difference. Drawing on principles from the Bible, the Boundaries video study guides small groups on a journey of discovery and practical application. As a participant, you’ll learn how to live your life more fully, display truth, and love more freely.

Propel Women: “Growth”

This group meets on Wednesday evenings for seven weeks, every other week, June 19th - September 11th, from 7:00-8:30 pm in Chrie’s home. For more information or questions, contact Chrie or Traci .

This study invites women to discover and understand their passion, purpose, and potential in Christ.

“Not Alone: 11 Inspiring Stories of Courageous Widows from the Bible”

This group meets on Thursday mornings for twelve weeks, starting June 20th, from 9:30-11:30 am at Grace in room 305. Widows only, please. For more information or questions, contact Maureen or Kaywin.

You are not alone. Even if you have suffered terrible tragedy, even if you have lost the person most dear to you, God’s love holds you in his comforting embrace. Author Miriam Neff shares this essential message through the powerful testimony of eleven widows in the Bible. Their stories are brought to narrative life in lyrical, first person prose that takes readers deep inside these women’s grief, strength, and faith. Both haunting and hopeful, the moving stories in Not Alone remind us what it means to love―and what it means to live with God.
