MOMS IN STEP

All Moms Welcome || Childcare available || Thursdays
9 week session beginning September 23 || 9:30-11:30am

"Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." -Galatians 5:25

Moms In Step Ministry meets every Thursday morning during the school year. You are invited to join other moms for a time of spiritual, emotional and physical renewal. We will start each morning in a small group study, followed by an exercise session in our gym or just take that time to relax, talk to friends, walk or read. 

This semester we will be doing a study by Ruth Chou Simons, Truthfilled...The Practice of Preaching To Yourself Through Every Season. We’d never intentionally write chapters of confusion, failure, loss, pain, conflict, or suffering into our stories.  No one plans to wrestle with her identity in Christ, to struggle to love her husband, to feel lonely in ministry, or to feel helpless in motherhood. Yet we often find ourselves in these seasons, struggling to embrace the gospel hope we need to fill our discouraged souls. In every season, we can rest in God’s character, rehearse our identity in Christ, respond in faith, and remember God’s provision for us. Register before Sept. 20.

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.
