WOMEN'S EVENING BIBLE STUDY (WEBS)

Our Women’s Evening Bible Study (WEBS) has begun their fall session and will be reading through and discussing Lessons I Learned in the Dark, by 

Jennifer Rothschild, which gives her personal perspective of life without sight. 

We so often fail to take in what is around us that God makes happen day after day. 

Pondering her words as a guide, this study will also help us "see." All women are invited to participate Tuesdays at 7:00 pm in person in Room 303 or via Zoom.

For more information, contact Kerby Kerber or Katherine Richards.

 

JOYBREAK

WEEKLY MORNING BIBLE STUDY

JoyBreak is a Women's Bible Study that is offered Wednesday mornings, September through May from 9:30-10:45 AM in the Great Room. 

Join us for a time to connect with other women as we are strengthened and encouraged in our faith walk.  

 

Our winter/spring session of JoyBreak kicks off on Wednesday, January 18 from 9:30 to 10:45 AM.  We will start the year off with a 10-week study on James.  This epistle encourages believers to view adversity in light of God's goodness.  We will walk through the book of James chapter by chapter and discover gems of wisdom to equip ourselves in our faith walk.

For more information, contact Katherine Richards.

RELATE: Small Group for High School Girls

Peace Women’s Ministry is excited to launch a new small group just for High School Girls (Grades 9 – 12)!  This group provides a comfortable, Christian-support community. Teen girls will have the opportunity to discuss topics and issues they encounter as they try to navigate school, family, and relationships.  This group meets monthly at a member’s home in Wheaton.  Dinner will be provided, followed by topical study, and sharing time.  Girls need not be members of Peace to participate, and all are encouraged to invite friends. 

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, January 25

from 6 to 8 PM.  

For more information, contact Katherine Richards.
