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.

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

We'll Be Back - Fall 2022!

The ministry of Wow is on summer break from mid-May until Monday, September 12… We are going to begin the life and Works of the apostle Paul at that time, and Autumn will be given to an in-depth look at his background and training/impact on Christendom! 

We will study the life and times of the apostle Paul in September and then move into his earliest book —Galatians in advance of studying his model of shepherding with the church at Thessalonica. The fall term will run September 12 to December 5…

Rather than a hot, dry spiritual time, we are praying that the good nourishment of the Word makes your summer an oasis and the promise of Jeremiah 17 is true – that even in a season of heat and drought, “we continue to bear fruit!”

Please look for the summer book list to be attached here in June.
