Sharing Life in the Word
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue. Proverbs 31:26

Bible Study
Women’s Bible study is done for the 23-24 school year. Stay tuned for more information about what is coming next fall.
Mending the Soul for Women
In its different forms (physical, sexual, verbal, spiritual, or neglectful), abuse deadens the emotions, slays self-worth, cripples the mind, even destroys the body. BUT THERE IS HOPE! God delights in mending shattered souls.
However, healing doesn’t come by ignoring the problem of abuse, minimizing its complexities, or downplaying its devastating impact. Healing comes by fully understanding the nature and ramifications of abuse, and by following a biblical path of restoration that allows God’s grace to touch the heart’s deep wounds.
If you have experienced abuse of some kind and would like to pursue understanding and healing with a small group of women, contact the following women for more information:

Steppingstones
Hinson hosts a Stay and Play baby and toddler group called Steppingstones for the purpose of connecting people who are in similar phases of child-rearing and meeting our neighbors with small children to show them the love of Jesus.
This weekly event will be in the Community Hall, Thursdays, 10am-noon following the school year schedule.
If you are a parent of or care for children up to 5 years of age, please join us (and invite others) for play time, a brief story time and sing-along. Coffee and snacks will be provided.

Complementarianism
As we studied Ephesians in the Wednesday Hinson Women's Bible Study, we came upon that well-known passage in Chapter 5:22-33, which often raises more questions than it answers, at first glance. Questions like, what does "submission" even mean? Is this just a cultural expectation for Paul's day? What could/should that look like in my life?
So we planned a 2-part series to help answer those questions from a couple of our resident experts, Dr. Todd Miles and Ashley Schreiner.
On April 13, 2022, Todd explained Complementarianism, or, what the Bible teaches about the value and role of men and women in the Church.

Then on April 20th, Ashley Schreiner followed up with the practical application of how Complementarianism plays out in the home.
Contact Ashley to request the recording of the presentation.
We encourage you to listen to both recordings for a great introduction to this often perplexing topic.
