Got an idea?

As we prepare for the fall semester, we need your help. What kind of Bible study would you like to see: structured (e.g., Beth Moore) or laid-back and free-flowing? Would you like to meet weekly or every other week? What day and time work best for you? Your input is needed! E-mail Kori, or leave a comment below.

Ladies, don't forget these events are open to all of you, so please feel free to join us whenever your schedule permits. We'll keep you updated on coming events.

Peace out and God bless!

Wanted: new or used baby items

Don't forget! We are collecting baby items for a young girl in our area whose baby is due later this summer. She is having a girl. If you can donate diapers, clothes or other items – new or gently used – please bring them to the women's table on Sunday or to the Thursday evening Bible study. See Kelly N or Kathy W for more info.

Hang out with the girls on July 17

Grab your swimsuit and your floaties and join us for a girls-only pool party on Friday, July 17, at 6:00 p.m. at Kathy W's house. Don't want to swim? Just come hang out! We will also explore some verses about God's perfect peace and beauty.

What to bring: an appetizer and/or drinks plus one of the following items (which we'll donate to My Father's House, a transitional housing program): shampoo, conditioner, mouth wash, toothpaste, tampons, panty liners, lotion, body wash, underwear, socks, bras, perfume, makeup, laundry soap, dryer sheets, diapers (sizes 4 and 5), toilet paper, pillows, pillow covers (zippered), white towels (can be gently used) and comforters (twin or full).

See you there!

Esther study continues through July

Join us on Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. as we continue our 10-week study of "Esther: It's Tough Being a Woman" by Beth Moore. For directions or more info, e-mail Sonta W.

From week four's lesson: "Beloved, absorb this with your whole heart: You are royalty. Not figurative royalty. Not just spiritual royalty. You are in the most literal sense possible the daughter of the universe's King. ... Not only are you royalty but you also have been placed in your sphere of influence, regardless of the size you perceive it to be, 'for such a time as this.' ... These realizations should be stunning and marvelous to us, exploding our lives with significance."
