Women's Ministry

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 with our two NEW study groups for fall!

We have two studies for fall:

Seamless: Understanding the Bible as One Complete Story

Led by Michelle Schiffner and Christy Brown

"Seamless: Understanding the Bible as One Complete Story" by Angie Smith. This video-based study covers the people, places, and promises of the Bible, tying them together into the greater story of Scripture. Experience the Bible as a whole as you gain clarity and confidence in your understanding of Scripture!

The Spirituality of the Cross: The Way of the First Evangelicals

Led by Jennifer Gross

"The Spirituality of the Cross: The Way of the First Evangelicals," by Gene Edward Veith, Jr.  As a young man, the author explored many kinds of spirituality--including Buddhism--and then found what he was looking for in the faith of Lutheran Christians. If it's been a while since Confirmation or if you didn't grow up in a Lutheran context, this study will deepen your understanding of God's grace and ground you in the beauty of Lutheran spirituality.

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).
Contact Jennifer Gross for more information.

Holy Comforters

Thursdays at 9am, in Prince of Peace Rm 27 (January - May)

Holy Comforters is a service ministry that meets at Prince of Peace. This group of interdenominational women meets weekly, from January through May. We make quilts for several organizations. No sewing or quilting experience needed; there is a job for everyone. Bring a friend for lots of fun and fellowship. For more information contact Mary Lion.

Knit, Purl, Pray

Every Friday at 10:30am via Zoom, along with some in-person meetings and field trips.

Knit, Purl, Pray group meets every week on Fridays at 10:30am virtually (via Zoom), with occasional in-person outings. If you enjoy knitting, crocheting (or embroidering or sewing) or would like to learn, join us! Read a devotion and talk with friends with similar interests while knitting or crocheting, etc.

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.
