WOW Fall 2025

 ANNOUNCING FALL ’25 ROMANS, chapters 5-6

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!

WOW - Fall 2023 Information

LADIES:

It’s only a month until we re-gather! How wonderful that will be; I look forward to it! And to sharing the stories about our summers & God’s faithfulness.

ISAIAH is going to be an amazing book to plumb, all the way til first of May, ’24.

As well, we have some celebrating to do; WOW will turn “15” in early February, & we will celebrate with our first big Retreat! (stay-tuned)…

What are some KEY themes of this tome? SOVEREIGNTY, Comfort, Suffering, Righteousness, the Servant, Exile *(& the exiles we bring on ourselves!) It’s becoming dearer to me each  day. We will be using the (amazing) Dr. Eric Motyer’s devotional guide to Isaiah, “Isaiah By the Day..” In the meantime, check out the “30-something” chapters for illustrating ALL the themes above…from chapter 30’s “In returning & REST is your strength!” to chapter 38’s awesome prayer of King Hezekiah— “Oh God of Israel, You Alone made heaven & earth; hear me!” 

So rich!

Please consider inviting a friend & make a calendar date to be with us (6:30) on Sept 11, at the LEVINE Center in Matthews; it’s going to be a great semester!

Warmly in Him,

Dr. A
