Women of the Word, Wednesday Mornings

Wednesdays (September - May), 9:30am-11:30am, in the Fellowship Hall

Grow Together with Women of the Word (WOW) Wednesday mornings! WOW is a community of multi-generational women meeting to study God’s word and connect with sisters in Christ.

Gather in the Fellowship Hall at 9:30am for singing and fellowship, then we split out into small groups.

We have three ongoing studies:

When You Pray: A Study of Six Prayers in the Bible.

Led by Michelle Schiffner

In this video-based study, join six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ. 

Meant for Good: A Study of Joseph by Donna Snow

Led by Jennifer Gross

The life story of Joseph is one of the most beloved and chronicled in the Bible. It's a story of broken dreams and impossible circumstances, of family conflict and unfair treatment. It's a story of the power and necessity of letting God's love and forgiveness lead. You’ll come away recognizing your own circumstances in Joseph's story and be inspired to place your trust in God.

Prevail: 365 Days of Enduring Strength From God’s Word

Darlene McCoy and Asia Read lead Knit, Purl, Pray, which is now meeting during WoW Wednesdays! All knitters, crocheters, and those interested in learning bring your supplies to work on your own projects or knit for charity! The group will continue reading Prevail: 365 Days of Enduring Strength From God’s Word by Susie Larson. This book guides you through the arc of the entire Word of God, offering 365 days' worth of opportunities for you to know God's Word and experience God’s presence.

Child care is provided on request (please register below or email before you bring your children so that we can have it available for you).

Women of the Word, Sunday Morning Study

Sundays at 9:15am, in-person in Rm 24, and Virtually

If you can't join us on Wednesdays, join us during the Sunday School Hour at Prince of Peace for the WOW Sunday Morning study. This multi-generational group of women get together for fellowship, prayer and to study God's word through Bible study.

Come out and join us in discussing the book "You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit," by James K. A. Smith's. Here, the award-winning author shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps readers recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices. He explains that worship is the "imagination station" that incubates our loves and longings so that our cultural endeavors are indexed toward God and his kingdom. This is why the church and worshiping in a local community of believers should be the hub and heart of Christian formation and discipleship.

Please note: we will pause our book discussion to participate in the Grow Together study, starting on October 13^th. Once the 6-week study is finished, we will resume our book discussion on Sunday, November 24^th.

The book is available on Amazon or can be bought in class. Contact leader M.E. Sorenson for more info and Zoom link.

Join us each month on the second Thursday, for lively discussions of faith-shaping books and classic devotionals, from September to June.

On Thursday, February 13 at 7:00 pm on Zoom, Faith Shapers will discuss How to Inhabit Time: Understanding the Past, Facing the Future, Living Faithfully Now by James K. A. Smith. Award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that awakening to the spiritual significance of time allows us to become indebted to the past, oriented toward the future, and faithful in the present.
