Women's Evening Ministry
Welcome to the Women's Ministry, we are blessed to have you visit.
The newness of the year is finally over. Winter seemed to never really appear, average daily temperature has been 79 degrees. The hustle & bustle of the holidays have past. Christmas decorations have been neatly put away, and our children are back in school. Thank you, Jesus! There’s a bit of a calm and order restored in our lives. Now is the time in which we plan ahead for the year to come. Graduations, birthdays, weddings, vacations, etc. We check our calendars, clear our schedules and by most part look forward towards what the New Year will bring. Filling our schedules up with ball games, school performances, family outings, and anything else that pops up. At times we look at our calendars and cringe. There are times when we know that there can’t be enough hours in the day to meet all of these expectations and find ourselves being engulfed in each days struggles.
In busiest times, we tend to forget to keep the most important daily appointment. Our time with God. There are days when we can barely squeeze Him in as scheduled activities have taken up all of the day. Therefore when you do settle in to spend time with God, it is not of your first fruits! This is when your least productive for the Lord. Exhausted, a little tense and depleted of any type of coherence, spent. On those days are when we are most vulnerable. Your armor is a little tarnished, not as effective for Christ, let alone anyone else, and my spirit is depleted. Ever been there? Be honest!! It's just you & God together right now. Thank the Lord for His grace and mercy! Our God loves us so much. He understands our weaknesses. He knows our humanness. Yet, still He remains the same. [Mal 3:6]. His desire is for us, His children, to grow closer to Him. In fact, He longs for it. Putting Him first on our schedule, letting not one thing surpass Him. Giving Him an offering of our first fruits, the best of what we have. [Exodus 23:19] Yearning to grow in Him, desiring to serve Him completely, unconditionally. Obtaining a relationship with Him that surpasses all others in our lives.
The Lord has pressed upon our hearts to share the importance of meeting together, growing in the Lord through His Word, praying together, and becoming closer to each other through Him. [Acts 2:42~47] The Lord provides us with one day a week, Monday’s, in which we can all come together; 7PM ~ 9PM. This is our time that has been set aside by the Lord, for the Lord. What we have deemed to be “Our Date Night With Jesus”. A few hours, once a week that does not focus on the cares and worries of the day. This is an evening that we focus on our relationship, our growth and walk with God. Have our lives become so busy, so intense, so preoccupied that we have allowed those things scheduled inter fear in the time set-aside for Him? Are we serving Him, not from our first fruits, but the leftovers of our time? Are we striving to strengthen our walk by regularly attending Bible studies, prayer meetings, Sunday School Class, and Worship Service? Are we actively seeking ways to serve Him by utilizing the spiritual gifts that only God can provide? [Heb 10:25] Is God speaking to you now? The Lord tells us that there is no better time as the present to turn from our ways, repenting and seeking a change in our lives. We have nothing to loose and everything to gain!! [Hosea 10:12] See you at the Monday Night Study

Mission Statement
We believe that every woman, young and old, should study God’s Word. That we were created to worship God in spirit and in truth. We provide a safe environment for women to sit and rejoice at the feet of Jesus, while applying the principles of the first century church. Together we study God’s Word, worship Him in song, fellowship and minister to each other with prayer in the agape love of Jesus. Striving to enable all to be equipped to minister to our families, friends & community.
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God,
a worker who does not need to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
