Connect
1st Thursday Connect
1st Thursday Connect, our final for the school year, is scheduled for 7 PM, Thursday, June 4th on Zoom. Make a cup of tea and join us at bit.ly/JuneConnect. To prepare, be thinking about how you would answer these two questions: 1) What is one thing you learned in May? It can be silly, simple, serious, or substantial. 2) And what is one thing you hope to do in June?
If you miss it, or if we encounter technological difficulties, here is a video with the prerecorded parts of the evening.
Feedback
The Women’s Ministry leadership team would appreciate your feedback on Women’s Ministry this past year. If you haven’t yet, would you help by taking a few minutes and giving your input at this link: bit.ly/NewLifeWomenFeedback? Thank you for your participation!
Summer
5-for-5 Prayer
One simple way we can all connect this summer is through prayer. If you are on the New Life Church West Linn mailing list, you should have received 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 with them sometime this summer. 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.
