LADIES,

WINTER/SPRING TERM BEGINS JAN 12 @ 6:30 P.M.
LEVINE CENTER, 1050 DEVORE LANE, MATTHEWS, NC 28105

HAPPY NEW YEAR & the best of everything directly from His Hand..

One of my year verses is “My heart is fixed! O God, my heart is fixed..” PS 57.. & also PS 89 “I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord forever!..”

These above will never steer us wrong!

WELCOME to a new Winter/Spring Term in Romans—specifically, we will “climb the summit” of ROMANS 8—what Luther called “the greatest chapter in the greatest letter ever written!”

Please Join us! It’s a wonderful mixed group of women in age, background, and church-home…We’ve been together more than a dozen years, going “deep”—one verse at a time, through this AMAZING book of St. Paul.

With questions, contact Marie Ligon.

Warmly in Him,

JOY in TRIALS, JOINED to JESUS

Please, ladies—join us for our new year of WOW, running Sept-May 1 of ’26, and studying Chapters 5-8 throughout the year.

This Autumn we will kick it off with chapters 5-6, which are some of the most key and practical Pauline writings ever on sanctification and life “in Christ.”

Ladies of every age are welcome and we’ll have 2 big visitor nights this fall, SEPT 8 & NOV 17.

Note Time Change! WOW Is moving to 6:30-8:30 p.m.

The Levine Senior Center is at 1050 Devore Lane, Matthews and we look forward to studying the Word by small group, by homework, and by lecture, led by Dr. A.

With questions? Write Marie Ligon.

This summer, meditate on Romans 5:10.

“If, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His son, how much more—now that we’re reconciled, shall we be saved by HIS LIFE!”

Summer Reading List 2024

LADIES!! 

HAPPY Late Spring/Early Summer! WOW is over for this school year.

We resume 9/9 2 6:30 p.m. to begin our journey into ROMANS chapters 1-4….our months will be SEPT thru APRIL of ’25. Our Normal Mondays we meet from 6:45- 8:30 p.m. (early group meets 5:45 - 8 p.m.).

Our text is N.T (Tom) Wright, Romans for Everyone, Volume 1 (there are 2 volumes) easily available on Amazon. Please consider getting that and looking ahead into the Fall.

Our Journey thru ISAIAH and also thru our 15th year together was rich and deep! Please invite a friend to our Summer Study on Dr Carol Kaminski’s book “Cultivating Godliness,” which is a light-discussion & sharing mode, beginning June 10 (write Marie Ligon for details!) We’ll meet 7 summer Mondays from 6:30-8 p.m. at different host-homes! Will be so refreshing! 

Attached is our booklist for the summer ! 

Please use this time of a change of pace to go deep—to sit on the porch for no reason, to exhale and meditate, to walk in the woods, to try a different prayer time? Summer is God’s Gift to us! Don’t waste it!

It makes me think of a verse we’re referenced MANY TIMES in WOW: “All my fresh springs shall be in You!” PS 87:7. Ladies, ask HIM for the fresh springs you need.

Commit your ways to the Lord & your steps will be established…Prov. 16:3

I am mainly recommending a couple Old Classics: “Andrew Murray: Humility, & Keller on PRAYER…&  a New Classic: “5 Lies of our Anti-Christian Age.” by Rosario Butterfield 

Hope to see many of you in “summer study!”

Praying for you all! Please keep our Ukrainian brothers and sisters in your prayers!
