Moms In Step

LIVING INTENTIONALLY

April 7 || 7-9pm
Take time out of your busy life to be inspired by someone's story and go home refreshed and uplifted.  Enjoy a great dinner prepared by Chef Rassy. 

We would love for you and your guests to join us for this evening of laughter and cold-hard truth from this straight-shootin' southern gal as she discusses stepping out of her comfort zone to create a life full of balance, joy and freedom. With an unfiltered, yet hilarious approach of communicating God’s word through her inspiring stories, you’ll walk away with strategies to take more risks, trust your intuition, and unapologetically stand up for what you want.

ASHLEY MARTIN is a motivational speaker, small biz strategist, multi-passionate creative and life cheerleader. She lives in Mound with her handy husband Chad, her best bud dog Maggie, and a sweet cat named Dubbadoo.

Registration closes on 5pm Sunday, April 5.

EVENING STUDIES

MONDAYS

TRUSTWORTHY by Lysa TerKeurst
Facilitator: Terri Marr
Beginning January 13th || 6pm
Overcoming our greatest struggles to trust God.
When hard times come and it seems God is deviating from the plan we assume our life should follow, we’re much more likely to want to blame God, not trust Him. It’s then that we begin to press into our ways and our own timing. No human can carry the weight of being their own god, but so many of us try.

In this 6-session study of 1 & 2 Kings, you can join Lysa TerKeurst in Israel as she honestly reveals the places of distrust in her own heart while exploring the deeply personal applicable Scriptures that will teach us how to truly trust God.

BECOMING MOM STRONG

How to fight with all that's in you for you family and your faith.  Did parenting seem a lot easier before you baby became a teen? I always knew so much about parenting teens...until I became one!

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN

CONNECT AND CARE GROUP

"Sent to Love" is the mission of Woodridge Church.  At times, those we are sent to love are our brothers in sisters in Christ right around us. Caring for those in our church community can look many different ways. Whether it's providing a meal for a family in need, sending an encouraging card, helping with a funeral service or providing a ride to a medical appointment, caring is something we are all called to do. Please consider joining the Connect & Care group and making yourself available to care.
