Bible Studies
Morning Classes | Wednesdays 9:00-11:00am
We gather at 9:00am, and classes are held from 9:30-11:00 am. All classes meet in LC210/212 for opening prayer, updates, and announcements before dispersing to separate classrooms. Ladies can choose from two classes:
LifeLight Study: Ezra and Nehemiah - Kathie Stocker is leading a LifeLight Study on Ezra and Nehemiah in LC210/212. She is an engaging teacher, and you will truly enjoy time in the Word with her and her group. LifeLight's Ezra and Nehemiah study is from the Old Testament at a point in time when Israel is returning from Exile. The people will need to rebuild their lives of worship, prayer, and purity while rebuilding the wall and renewing their covenant by asking God to remember them.
The Ezra and Nehemiah Bible study group will take a break on April 16th for Holy Week, resume on April 21st, and wrap up the spring session on May 21st.
NICE: Why We Love to Be Liked and How God Calls Us to More - Debbie Baacke's Finding God Faithful group is wrapping up their book and study on Wednesday, April 30. Debbie is going to spend the last few weeks of our spring session using Sharon Hodde Miller's book NICE. Through video, discussion, and writing the group will learn to stop being "nice" and start practicing true kindness, honesty, courage, and joy by following Jesus and using Biblical wisdom. Books are available in the front office and may be purchased for $20.
Ladies, make sure to join us on May 21st after Bible study for fellowship and good food. Bring your favorite dish and spend some time in friendship with all of your Bible study friends before we break for summer. See you there!
Evening Classes | Wednesdays 6:30-8:00pm
When You Pray: A Study of Six Prayers in the Bible - Dixie Russo is leading a wonderful study called When You Pray. Each lesson is a stand-alone session on prayer, so please join in even if you have not attended before. Books may be purchased from most large book retailers. The group meets via Zoom on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00pm and is open to all women. Please contact Dixie Russo or Lori Knutson for more information.
Women's Discipleship Adventures (WDA)
Saturday Walk and Talks | Next Walk: May 3rd
You are invited to join us for a Saturday morning of walking and spending time in fellowship and good conversation. We are going to hit the beach one last time before the summer crowds. Grab your favorite beach shoes--or come ready to walk barefoot--and plan to join us on the beach in Galveston for a morning walk.
We will gather on the beach at Beach Access Point 16 off of 13 Mile Road right before Galveston Island State Park and Jamaica Beach. We'll begin to gather at 8:15. At 8:30 we'll join together in prayer and then head out for a stroll and chat. Plan to walk with us for about an hour.
If anyone is interested, we can gather afterward at Seawall Coffee Company (which is just up the road at Cove View Blvd across from Diamond Beach Resort). They are a local small business and serve some of the best java and pastries around.
This is always a special walk and we never know who or what we are going to see. God has managed to delight us with a surprise every time we have walked at Galveston. We look forward to seeing you for a stroll on the beach May 3rd! If you have any questions, please reach out to Lori Knutson.
As always, keep walking with the Lord and allow His Word to be a lamp for your feet and a light for your path (Psalm 119:105). See you out on the trails!
Day & Weekend Adventures | See you on our next trip!
The Women's Discipleship Adventure group plans day trips and weekend adventures throughout the year. We gather and go kayaking, bird watching, camping, hiking, and more. Our focus is coming together as daughters of the King and spending time outdoors in God's creation! Every trip is partnered with prayer and time in fellowship, and weekend trips have a Bible-focused devotional we use throughout our three and four-day adventures.
All women are invited. Physical exertion levels for day trips vary based on the event but are typically moderate. Weekend activities are usually moderate to difficult, unless otherwise stated in the registration.
Contact Lori Knutson for more information and to be added to the WDA email distribution list.
