FEEDBACK

The Women’s Ministry leadership team would appreciate your feedback on Women’s Ministry this past year. Together we are Women’s Ministry, and together we are “striving side by side for the faith of the gospel” (Phil. 1:27). We want to invest in the things that are fruitful. Would you help by taking a few minutes and giving your input at this link: bit.ly/NewLifeWomenFeedback? Thank you for your participation!

OPPORTUNITIES

Summer is usually slow-down time, but this year it feels we have had our slow time. With that in mind, here are several opportunities to help us “strive side by side for the faith of the gospel” (Phil. 1:27) this summer.  Some are for personal spiritual growth. Some allow us to reconnect in small groups but can also be done online. Others encourage us to connect and grow with someone new to Christianity this summer. One thing that each of us can do to minister to other women is pray. Look at the opportunities, make the necessary preparations, and make the best use of summer!

5-for-5 Prayer

One simple but impactful way we can all be involved in ministry to women is through prayer. Would you take 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week to pray for 5 women from New Life Church? If you are on the church mailing list, you should receive 5 names along with 10 weeks of suggested prayer prompts for summer. All you need to do is pray. If you want to do more, drop the women a note or get together and get to know them. 5 women will be praying for you, too! If you did not receive a list and would like one, contact Elaine. The 5-for-5 Prayer prompts can be found on the Women’s Ministry page of the church website.

Panorama Study

Gay Haugen will be teaching a 5-week study called Panorama: a sweeping vista of God’s Word. We hope to have an evening session, a morning session, plus a video option. Class size will be limited, dates TBD. Contact Gay to sign up.

Panorama Bible Reading

The Panorama Bible Survey is a 10-week Bible reading plan that can be done separately or in conjunction with the Panorama study. It gives an overview of the narrative of scripture, from beginning to end. If you wish, make a plan to discuss the reading with another woman or a small group. The reading plan can be found on the Women’s Ministry page of the church website.

Need to Know

Need to Know by Gary Millar is a short guide to the Christian life. This new book is concise, thorough, simple, gospel-centered, engaging, and helpful for Christians old and new. Plus, it’s written by an Australian, so it has a cool accent. The book includes suggested reading and discussion questions. Purchase a copy and go through this one-to-one or in a small group this summer!

Simeon Trust Training

The Charles Simeon Trust Workshop for Women is designed to help women learn to study the Bible with a view to teaching. The course includes online videos, homework, and small group presentations. Cost is $19. Dates TBD. Contact Marcia to be part of a small group going through the study this summer.

1-to-1 Bible Reading: John

The last but perhaps best idea is to invite someone new to Jesus to read the book of John with you this summer. One-to-One Bible Reading handouts for John are available on the Women’s Ministry page on the New Life Church website.

LINKS

Here are links to articles or books or music that might be of interest or help on various topics. Resources are curated but may not always reflect the views of New Life Church. Enjoy!
