Women's Bible Studies

Starts Wednesday morning, September 13, 9:30-11:30 am - Ed Building

Discerning the Voice of God
This 7-week study by Priscilla Shirer will help us discover the root to clear and daily communication with God—humble obedience, and how surrender unlocks His many blessings intended for us, centers us in His will, and helps us discern His voice in everyday life. Cost of workbook is $12.99 available from lifeway.com or amazon.com. Led by Cathy Haas.

Dwelling in God's Peace
This 8-week study by Sarah Young will explore what the Bible says about the peace that God offers when you trust in Christ and rely on the Holy Spirit's work in your life. This peace, which "surpasses all understanding" (Philippians 4:7), allows you to trust the Lord in any situation and believe He will always take care of you as you experience this peace. Cost of workbook is $6 and provided by class leader Georganne Copas.

Starts Thursday evening, September 14, 6:45 - 8:00 pm - Ed Building

Bible Study Fellowship - Book of Romans
SVCC is hosting a Bible Study Fellowship International (BSF) satellite class for adult women of all ages and any level of Bible knowledge from none to lots!

Upcoming and Ongoing!

Girls’ Getaway: Our annual women's retreat will be one day this year, September 23, at Mt. Hermon in the Santa Cruz mountains. Our day will include beautiful worship music, inspiring speakers, insightful discussions, quiet time & free time in the lovely surroundings of Mt. Hermon, and of course, lots of yummy food! Our speakers, Kandice Gamotan, Heather Bentley, and Cindy Lewis, will remind us that God is making something beautiful out of the seeming mess of our lives, because our identity is rooted in His love. We can then realize that “living out love” is possible because we are living in love… God’s love.

Our Getaway is on Saturday, September 23, from 9:30 am - 6:45 pm and includes continental breakfast, lunch, afternoon refreshments, dinner and speakers for only $50. Crafts and the ropes course are extra. Sign up at the table in the lobby on Sunday.

Craft Days for Women: Please join us on the second Friday of each month, beginning September 8, to spend some time together doing whatever craft you enjoy. We’ll meet from 10 a.m.–1 p.m. in Room E2 in the Education Building at the back of the campus. Bring whatever you’re working on, or supplies to start something new. No need to sign up, just come and enjoy. Questions? Contact Georganne Copas at 444-7676 (after noon) or iraygmc@aol.com.

Holy Yoga Classes: Holy Yoga embraces the essential elements of yoga: breath work, meditation and physical postures, with Christ as the focus. Holy Yoga classes start with breath, scripture, meditation and a brief warm up before beginning postures. We finish in a resting pose with scripture or devotional message. These ongoing classes are taught by Brenda Tollefson, a certified instructor. All ages and skill levels welcome! Bring your mat & wear stretchy clothes. Only $5/class in Junior High Room (in the house next to the kitchen). Contact Claudia Schaub at claudias@svcc.net for more information or just show up on Monday night at 5:45.
