One in a Million
WOMEN Wednesdays beginning January 14 // 9:30 a.m. // 254 North // 14 Weeks // Last session April 22.
Freed from slavery, God then led the children of Israel into the wilderness. Like them, promised land living does not mean a life without problems. It means learning to depend upon God and experience His power and presence in spite of difficulty. Join us as we follow the children of Israel from the Exodus to entering the Promised Land and in doing so examine how we can experience abundant life in Christ.

WOMEN Wednesdays beginning January 7 // 9:45 a.m. // 255 North // 8 Weeks // Last session February 25.
"From anti-aging serums to diets to surgeries to workouts, we’re made aware of and told to “fix” our bodies every day. But what if we discovered that our bodies are more than just something to work hard on? What if we learned what it means to live well as bearers of God’s very image? In this 6-session Bible study from Lisa Whittle, discover a whole body theology, learning to reconcile your body with the rest of who you are and growing in a deeper understanding of your true identity as a whole person created in the image of God.”

Armor of God
WOMEN Tuesday evenings beginning January 13 // 6:00 p.m. // 257 North // 7 Weeks // Last session February 24.
“All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny.
But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.
The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.”
