Steadfast Love: A Study of Psalm 107 by Lauren Chandler
Mondays 6:30 - 8:00 PM
Psalm 107 is a call to worship. It reminds us that each season of life is an opportunity to reveal the anchor of our souls. In this 7-session video-based Bible study, learn to face both storms and deserts with courage and trust in Jesus, and discover how tests in our journeys of faith reveal the true condition of our hearts. For there is no fear for the one who fears the Lord, the one whose soul is anchored in His steadfast love.
Forgiven and Set Free by Linda Cochrane - After Abortion Care
Wednesdays 6:30 PM
No matter what influences a woman to end a pregnancy, the physical, psychological, and spiritual side effects are real and not always anticipated. Feelings of guilt, shame, and grief become a heavy burden, and many women feel that they will never be free, that no one understands, that God will never forgive them. But there is hope. Cochrane delves into the Scriptures to offer help with issues such as relief, denial, anger, forgiveness, depression letting go, and acceptance. For every woman yearning for the peace of God's forgiveness, this study can be the first step to healing and wholeness.

HEART Groups for Women
HEART Groups begin the week of September 9, 2024 and end the week of May 4. Childcare is not available.
HEART Groups will be small groups of 5-6 women meeting weekly discussing God’s Word and your interaction with it over the course of that previous week. These groups will guide women to take your copy of the Bible, read it for yourself, journal about it and grow in godliness from having been immersed in the living and active Word of God in a regular and meaningful way. The format of the study is adapted from Kandi Gallaty’s Disciple Her and Bible In A Year books.
For many ladies, this will take the place of a topical bible study and encourage you in a more inductive style of approaching God’s Word. Some women may choose this style of small group in place of other groups. HEART Groups meet at various times and locations throughout the week. Because of the group size, these ladies will be highly accountable to one another both for attendance and participation. This will allow the Lord to knit your hearts together in a very unique way. Cost: $10pp.

The driving and ultimate purpose of theology is to know God better such that we love him more.

Do you have biblical reasons for standing firm on one belief over against another? Congratulations—you are a theologian. Authors Jen Wilkin and J. T. English invite you to discover the person and story of God as revealed in Scripture, so that you can contribute to the conversation and inform your Godward love, worship, and service.

Girl Talk
Sundays, Oct. 27, Nov. 3 and Nov. 10 from 5-7:00 p.m. in the Great Hall.
The upcoming 3-part workshop for FBC Women and friends, "GIRL TALK," will explore the biblical foundation for intimacy within the covenant of marriage. These sessions will dive into Scripture to understand God's original plan for marital intimacy, emphasizing the beauty and sanctity of this union as a reflection of His love and very good design for us. We will walk through key biblical passages that highlight the importance of purity and holiness in marriage and discuss practical insights on how to honor God in this deeply personal aspect of life. The workshop aims to equip women (no matter the season or state of your marriage) with the tools to strengthen their relationships while walking in obedience to God's Word. The final session will be full of biblical answers to all your questions - including the ones you aren’t sure how to ask.
Join Nicole Lino for this opportunity at any and all of the three sessions. This discussion is best suited for adult women or high schoolers preparing for marriage alongside their mom.
Registration is not required.
Childcare is not available.
