Sisterhood – Fall 2021 Classes
Not Alone: A Study on Friendship
Teacher: Jeanette Lyda
Pre-registration online is required.
In the beginning, God created one human. And in God’s sin-free, beautiful world, something wasn’t right. That the human was alone. The creation of Eve isn’t just the story of a marriage. It’s also the beginning of community. God exists in Trinity, and we were made in His image.
We were created for community. And because our Father is generous, he’s given us one of the most essential and life-changing relationships for community: friendship.
In this six-week study, Not Alone, join Jeannie Allen, Lauren Chandler, and Amena Brown as they talk all about friendship. Find out why we need friendship, discover biblical examples of friendship, and identify friendship’s pitfalls, challenges, and joys. They’ll dive into the tough topics of toxic relationships, boundaries, and how to rebuild broken trust. But most of all, the teachers, real-life stories, and study guides will help you celebrate the encouragement, wisdom, and love that only comes when you’re not alone.
A Confident Heart by Renee Swope
Teacher: Janna Biffert
Pre-registration online is required. Optional Book – $20.00 (10 available), pick up at church office.
Often the biggest obstacle to living out our faith is our own doubt – about our worth, our abilities, our relationship with God, and situations in our lives. A Confident Heart gives us voice to the questions, doubts, struggles, and hopes so many women have. Author Renee Swope shows us how to identify, overcome, and learn from our self-doubts so that we can live confidently in God’s assurance, truth, and grace. Perfect for women’s small groups or individuals. A Confident Heart is an authentic, insight-filled and encouraging message for any woman who wants to exchange defeating thought patterns with Biblical truth that will transform the way she thinks, feels, and lives.
Breaking Free from Body Shame
Teacher: Joy Breitkreutz
Pre-registration online is required.
It’s one thing to know in your head that you were created in the image of God. Yet it’s quite another to experience this belief in your body, against the cultural ideals of a woman’s worth. And between the two lies a world of frustration, disappointment, and the shame of somehow feeling both too much and never enough in your body.
Jess Connolly is a bestselling author, sought-after speaker, and trusted Bible teacher who knows this inner conflict all too well, and this book details her journey – and yours – of setting out to discover how to break free from the broken beliefs we all hold about your bodies that hold us back from our fullest life.
The truest thing about you is that you are made and loved by God. And the truest thing about Him is that He cannot make the bad things. This book will help you believe it with your whole self, as Jess guides you through an eye-opening, empowering process of:
- Renaming what the world has labelled as less-than
- Resting in God’s workmanship
- Experiencing restoration where there has been injury
- And becoming a change agent in partnering with God to bring revival to a generation
Far from a superficial issue, self-image is a spiritual issue, because God has named your body good from the beginning. Whether your struggle is with eating and exercise habits, stress or trauma, infertility or injury, this book makes space for you to experience God meeting you in this tender place, and ring His freedom bell over your body in a whole new way.
The Reward of Worship
Teacher: Sheilah Lindoff
Pre-registration online is required. Optional Workbooks – $20.00, pick up at church office.
Why do so many people feel unfulfilled? Because every one of God’s children continues to live in shame from the fall when intimate companionship with the Father was broken and the glory of his presence was lost. Yet, as Jack Hayford explains, believers can regain their intended position as kingdom people. How does this happen? Through worship.
In his most comprehensive and significant work to date, Hayford explores the various elements of worship and shows how to attain the liberty that comes from welcoming God’s glory. Christians worldwide are heeding the call to worship. With this timely and substantive direction, each believer will learn to usher in the glory of God’s manifest presence.
