Morning Studies (9:30-11:30am)

Abide: A Study of 1, 2, and 3 John by Jen Wilkin

Leaders: Debbi Allan and Laura Kingsley | Links for the book: Amazon • Lifeway • Christianbook

How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.

Luke: Good News of Great Joy by Lydia Brownback

Leaders: Mary Norton | Links for the book: Amazon • Christianbook • Crossway

In Luke 2:10, the angel said to the shepherds, “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people” Born in a lowly manger, Jesus was not the messiah people expected, but he was the Messiah they needed. Who is this son of a carpenter who could preach, heal diseases, and cast out demons? Join us as we study the Gospel of Luke and find out how Jesus’ earthly ministry is good news for all, especially the downtrodden, the hurting, and the outsider.
Please order your copy and bring it with you the first week.

Knowing God by J. I. Packer

Leader: Jennifer French | Links for the book: Amazon | Study Guide Only: Amazon • Christianbook

Even though this book was written over 50 years ago, it has much to say to us today. It’s one of those books most of us own, but few have read. Packer’s writing is dense, but very devotional. We probably won’t get through the entire book this fall, but there’s still lots of rich encouragement we can glean in the time we have. Let’s dive in together and encourage each other to be women who know their God and who love and serve a God who knows us. We will be using the questions from the Study Guide. If you don’t own a copy of Knowing God, you can purchase the copy that includes the study guide or purchase the study guide separately. If you already own a copy, you can opt to get just the study guide.

Please order your copy and bring it with you the first week and read Chapter 1 before our first meeting.

Ten Words to Live By: Delighting in and Doing What God Commands by Jen Wilkin

Leader: Karen Hitchcock | Links for the book: Amazon • Christianbook • Crossway

Ever wish you had divine guidance and ethical insight for living your life more fully? It’s right there in God’s timeless list of instructions, better known as the Ten Commandments! Let Wilkin show you the beauty, freedom, and power to be found in following the Lord in obedience and holiness.
Please order your copy and bring it with you the first week.

Evening Study (7-9pm)

Saved: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Acts by Nancy Guthrie

Leader: Sandy Deel | Link for the book: Amazon • Christianbook • Crossway | Study Guide: Christianbook • Crossway

The book of Acts is set within the larger story of the outworking of God’s plan to save for himself a people from every nation—the story that runs from Genesis to Revelation. Within its pages are dramatic accounts of the Spirit falling, the apostles’ preaching, conflict with Jewish opposition to welcoming in the Gentiles, and the invasion of the good news of King Jesus into the Roman Empire. Join us as we peek into the lives of the apostles in the days following the resurrection and ascension of Jesus as they experienced new power from the indwelling Holy Spirit and a new understanding of the Old Testament scriptures. We will be using the book and the study guide, so please purchase both.
Please order your copy of the book and study guide and bring them with you the first week.
