Faithful Stewards God has given us spiritual gifts to be used to encourage the body of Christ and to magnify Him. But what keeps us from using those gifts? And how can we find out what our gifts are? We will explore this together. Don’t miss the end where I’ll encourage you to fill out the online Spiritual Gifts Assessment by Perimeter Church.

In this newsletter, you’ll find photos and a teaching video from our Hospitali-tea event where we learned about Biblical Hospitality. You’ll also find information about the upcoming bible studies and book club as well as a March Day Retreat at HPC and resources for growth.

Merry Christmas from the Women’s Ministry! In this newsletter, you’ll find photos of our Christmas events and a devotion on the Gift of Love from 1 Peter 4:8. We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to celebrating the birth of our Savior together.

What does being self-controlled and sober-minded have to do with prayer and why is Peter calling his readers to pray in light of the “end of all things”? And how does this change my prayer life particularly when I’m in a state of prayerlessness? We’ll explore all of this in this video!

The retreat was a wonderful time of pulling back and learning more about how the Gospel transforms our friendships.

Why is 1 Peter 4:7-11 an important message for Peter to give to the suffering Christians scattered throughout Roman provinces? We’ll answer that in this video, but we’ll start with a review of the entire letter. Christmas events coming soon!

On Saturday, September 17, we had a wonderful women’s event where we learned more about what spiritual gifts are, enjoyed fellowship with one another and had an opportunity to sign up to serve the church.  Learn more about it as well as upcoming events and resources!

We have a new theme and verse for the upcoming Women’s Ministry year!

1 Peter 4:7-11 is our theme verse for this year, but it’s part of a larger letter written by Peter. We have to understand who wrote it, why he wrote it, and for what purpose to be able to understand how our passage fits into the larger letter of 1 Peter….

We started out by talking about how we are chosen ones, holy and beloved. This is our new identity secured for us in Christ. Now, we are able to put on that identity in our actions which must be done in God’s love. For this final section of our passage, we are going to look at putting on our new identity with our words.

Also, save the date for our women’s retreat November 11-13, 2022!

Last month, we talked about how we are to live in our new identity as our default sin nature has been removed and replaced with the righteousness of Christ. This month, we’re going to talk about what it means to be a conduit and not a container of God’s love. You may also hear a once-in-a-lifetime performance of a Whitesnake song by Laura. You won’t want to miss it!

Also: we have two summer events coming up in June as well as an announcement about our fall women’s retreat!  Learn more about Paul Card and Emily Johnson and recommended resources for growth.

Are you more concerned with what you are to do or who you are to be? Now that we are called chosen, holy and beloved, we have a new identity (who we are) from which our actions now flow (what we do).

Also: learn about upcoming bible studies, events, view photos of the Gardens of the Bible event and meet April and Kristin! And you won’t want to miss the extensive list of resources this month!

In this newsletter, we are going to look at what it means to be “God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved”.

Also: save the date for our spring fling, meet LuAnne & Brooke, and resources for growth!
