Fall is Coming

Monday evenings, September  16 - December 2 at 6:45 p.m. at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church.

LADIES: FALL IS COMING! With all its particular challenges and joys.  The women of WOW are  launching into our deepest study yet~ Isaiah, the greatest of the major Biblical Prophets.

Some bullet points as to “why ISAIAH” and what it will bring to your spiritual life/home/walk of faith:

  • Themes of Isaiah are the Holiness & Sovereignty of God ~ are there areas where you need a “higher view”  of God’s careful watchcare over ALL your life events? (check ISA 40)...
  • Impatience & Anxiety are both addressed by the fact that Our Sovereign God is IN CONTROL (Isa 46:10)
  • COMFORT is another theme of Isaiah~ does your heart need comforting by the Great Shepherd?
  • Immoral lifestyle, governments & societies abound in 2019… how shall we view God’s plan for ALL nations? Isaiah addresses this..

Just to whet your appetite! In addition, WOW focuses on fellowship w/other sisters in Christ from a variety of denominations, and small-group accountability.

Here’s our Year Verse, Class~ can you commit it to memory?

Trust in the LORD Forever, for the Lord GOD is an everlasting rock.
YOUR NAME & RENOWN ARE THE DESIRE OF OUR HEARTS !
—Isaiah 26:3,8

WOW RESUMES Monday evening, Sept 16 at 6:45 p.m. for refreshments & registration. We will meet Monday evenings until December 2.

We meet at Good Shepherd Presbyterian, 3307 Rea Road, Charlotte, NC. We end by 8:30 p.m.

Happy New Year!!!

WOMEN OF THE WORD BLOG, 2019

"My Times are in YOUR HANDS"…. Psalm 31:15 &
"He Knows the End from the Beginning"   Isa 46:10

Can you think of any better duo of verses for the year ahead than these? Surely with Our God going ahead of us, we can have no anxiety.

2018 was a difficult year for me personally, with the loss of 2 of my 4 “lifelong” friends of 35 years, both unexpectedly. Yet each time, I had SUCH strong assurance that God was completely in control~ utterly persuaded that “underneath are the everlasting arms.” I wish this same mindset would surround me all the time!

This winter our class will study I Peter, the only New Testament book written specifically about suffering (hint: it never answers the ‘why?’ question, however…)

You are warmly invited to join us, beginning Feb 4, at Good Shepherd Presbyterian on Rea Road in Charlotte. We meet Monday evenings at 7-8:30.

Great books about Joy in Trials: Here’s a sampling~
Andrew Murray, A Believer’s Secret of Living Like Christ
Tim Keller, Walking With God in Times of Suffering
Elisabeth Elliot, A Path Through Suffering
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
Philip Yancey, Reaching for the Invisible God
C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

WOW Is a group of women from more than 15 churches in the Charlotte area, committed to the Lordship of Christ in ALL things, and studying His Word in-depth as a group~ in small group settings, at home, and through lecture.

Please join us one Monday Evening this Winter/Spring!

God bless your endeavors in 2019 ! We don’t go into this year alone, and that makes ALL the difference! …

Warmly,

AKLB
