Women's Ministries

The Covenant Women's Ministry offers classes and regular fellowship meetings.

The Winter 2012 class offerings are here!:

Women's Bible Study - Sweet Tuesdays Together -- We will begin again in the Commons Room at Bethany on Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 - 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. Hope to see you then! Childcare available downstairs - nursery & pre-school.

1. Study on The Prodigal God by Tim Keller - Facilitated by Mary Shupe & Heather Hoffman Amazing and insightful reflections on the very well known parable of the prodigal son as found in the Bible - Luke, Chapter 15. This study will alternate between weeks of study of the passage and journaling/group prayer.

2. Study on the Old Testament Prophets - Facilitated by Sandra Metaxatos (using Bible & Study guide - Life Principles from the Old Testament Prophets) Have you ever wanted to know more about the lives of the Old Testament prophets and the importance of the role they played in history? This study will examine Old Testament prophets including "those who received blessing from a surrendered walk with God, as well as those who did not follow His direction". Throughout, it emphasizes the importance of building a relationship with God, living a life totally surrendered to His leading What do the prophets have to teach us? Join me and let's find out together! "...if the LORD is God, then follow Him." 1 Kings 18:21

3. Study on The Shelter of God's Promises by Sheila Walsh - Facilitated by Heather Marks This Bible study searches Scripture for what God has promised us, what His promises mean, and how encounters with Christ are the eternal fulfillment of His unrelenting commitment to us. We will investigate 10 promises of God that provide a foundation for daily confidence, joy, hope, and shelter. (Group conversation & DVD)

4. Study on Prayer that Changes You - Facilitated by Diane Hallenbeck (using various verses from the Bible) Have you ever noticed how we come to God with a list of requests when we pray? Take this opportunity to see what God has for you in prayer… In this class we will read scripture and then pray that scripture. God says His word does not return to Him empty, so come and see what God will do in us as we pray His word. Come with an open heart, come ready to receive, come ready to be changed by prayer! Please bring a bible and a journal to class.

5. Study on The Garden of my Heart , by Skip McDonald, Nurses Christian Fellowship - Facilitated by Karen Grant (based on Bible passage - John, Chapter 15) Caregiving comes naturally to most of us. We're always looking out for someone else, often to our detriment. This study will encourage you to take time to explore what is happening in your own heart. The care you give yourself reflects in the care you give to others. If you want to give care that honors the Lord, you need to learn to care for yourself as He cares for you. This study will help you to abide in the Vine and let the Vinegrower do His work in your heart. Join us as we work in our own heart's garden! John 15:1-5.

We are currently studying "Traveling Light" by Max Lucado. If you are a single woman who enjoys great conversation, great food, and great fellowship, or know of someone who would, please join us!
