Welcome!
This is where we'll share information about our women's ministry: Bible studies, events, and such.
Bible Studies
Most, or maybe all, of us struggle with spiritually unhealthy patterns in our lives or perhaps with an addiction of some sort. We are so easily lured and hooked by 'stuff', or our phones, or self-image, or food, or alcohol, or books, or work, or... Which leads to us wasting our days, lonely, in a meaningless haze of unfulfilling activities.
We invite you to join us in a different sort of pattern and addiction - to the joy of the Holy Spirit opening the truths of God's Word to us as we study it together.
During the school year, Tuesday is "Bible study day" at Peoples Church. Let's make that our first new pattern! Secondly, let's replace some of that wasted time each day with reading and studying and thinking and praying about that week's Bible passage. Doing Bible study together offers an ongoing and practical way to build relationships within a community of believers who learn from each other and hold each other accountable.
We are praying that each woman at Peoples Church will consider joining us in Bible study, and that the Lord will transform us together into a people addicted to His Word.
Spring Bible Studies
Abide: A Study of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John
Tuesday Morning Study:
In these three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. How can we have assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know that God really loves us?
We will repetitively read and mark through the letters, looking at three tests of our faith that give us the assurance of our salvation.
This study will take place Tuesday mornings from 9:30-11:00 at Peoples Church.
The cost of the Scripture Journal for this study is $5.
John: That All Might Believe
Tuesday Evening Study:
We’d love for you to join us on Tuesday evenings as we begin reading through the Gospel of John together.
This study is open to all, especially for anyone who:
is new to Christianity
isn’t quite sure how to approach reading the Bible
wonders if they can really understand God’s Word
has found Bible reading confusing, frustrating, or overwhelming
You’re not alone — and you’re very welcome.
Author and pastor Darrell Johnson says, “The first and foremost discipline for [Bible reading] is staying in the text until we meet the Lord of the text… The transforming power of any text lies right here, in the encounter.” That’s our hope for this study — not just to read words on a page, but to meet Jesus in them.This eight-week study begins Tuesday, March 24th at 7:00 pm. We’ll be using a Gospel of John Scripture notebook (available through the church office for $5). Each week, we’ll read one chapter on our own, jot down our observations and questions, and then gather to share what stood out to us and how the Lord met us in the text. We’ll also spend time each week learning and practicing a simple Bible study technique together.
Come as you are — we’re excited to read and grow together in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
This study will take place Tuesday evenings at 7 o’clock at Peoples Church.
The cost of the Scripture Journal for this study is $5.
