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.

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.

MOMS IN PRAYER

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches! Pour out your heart like water before the presence of the Lord! Lift your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint for hunger at the head of every sheet.
