Small Group Studies

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE this wonderful event!

On Saturday June 2, 2018, 42 ladies listened to Chaplain Juliana Lesher as she praised God in word and song. In her presentations, she explained how a series of difficult events that occurred throughout her life, brought her even closer to our Lord. Concurrently, she shared how these struggles eventually equipped her and gave her greater insights and compassion to persons struggling with their own difficulties and trials. She told the group about the amazing power of prayer and expressed gratitude to the many Christians who prayed with and for her.

We had two, break-out sessions with small groups of seven women discussing and sharing a range of key topics, such as these: false teachings that seek to confuse and distract us from the Gospel, women priority issues that are established, maintained and even enhanced as they relate to our abilities, talents, gifts and time availability, and, suggestions and strategies to confidently share the salvation message that is in Jesus Christ alone.

In the afternoon, we all shared a ‘life lesson,’ by making a web of yarn that symbolized how we, as women, are ‘connected’ to one another as the body of Christ. This activity reinforced three Bible-based truths – our dependence upon each other, our need to pray for one another and our desire to encourage one another.

We closed our retreat by sharing together in the Sacrament of Holy Communion.

Many of our Small Groups are on Summer Break.
