SPIRITUAL LIFE

• Bible Studies — Both morning and evening groups are available throughout the year, in depth or inquiring—we seek to offer choices to meet a variety of needs.
  
  The Spring study begins Tuesday, April 14, 2009, 7:00-9:00pm., and Wednesday, April 15, 2009, 9:30-11:30am. The Women of Grace will be studying Anointed Transformed Redeemed — A Study of David featuring Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore and Kay Arthur. These three women, representing three generations committed to God and His Word, have been a huge blessing to millions. You'll laugh with them, cry with them, and learn to love God with them and each other, while exploring the life of David. This six-week study includes two weeks of daily Bible study and DVD teaching by each author and weekly group discussion. Work books are $14.00, scholarships are available.

• Retreats — Time to get away, experience fun and fellowship and to be enriched by the insights of inspiring speakers.
• Discipleship Class — Simple, scriptural and personal, these four-week small groups meet intermittently throughout the year under the direction of Lil Reed. They are designed to ground the faith of inquirers, new believers or those who know the Lord and are seeking further growth.

• WOW — Women of Wisdom. All single women 50 years young and up are welcomed to a monthly fellowship luncheon. Rides can be arranged, and meals are hosted by a different woman of Grace each month.
• Showers — It is our practice to welcome into our church family the first baby of the families of our church with a baby shower. We also provide a bridal shower, open to all the women of the church for brides from within our church family. In both these cases, the shower is seen not simply as a wonderful time of fellowship and support, but also as a way of bring a spiritual blessing at each important new stage in life.
• Special Events — Grace Women have traditionally enjoyed a Christmas Brunch the first Saturday of December as an inspiring way to welcome women of all ages to begin the Christmas season through fellowship, great food, special music and a dynamic message. A Spring Tea is also an intermittent event that brings women of all ages together.

• Quilt Ministry — Producing over 100 beautiful handmade quilts each year, this once-a-month ministry ministers to babies with AIDS and other at risk or traumatized children. Contributions of woven fabrics are welcomed and the quilt ministry is open to all women.
• Grace Under Cover — Believing that some of life’s greatest joys and lessons can be learned from the pages of a good book, Grace Under Cover seeks to bring women together through the love of reading. This group meets once a month and requires that each book meets with Solzhenitsyn’s Triune Intuition, that the world is created by God as is mankind. All creation including mankind bears the marks of the Fall into sin, and is also capable and worthy of redemption. Reading list is set twice yearly and all members may suggest titles.

• Regional and National Events — Grace Women also participate in Triennial, the once-every-three-years gathering of the women of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
