The Wednesday Morning Ladies Group, are 15 ladies (not all from our church), who meet in the Common Room at 170 Trillium Way, beginning September 13th, from 10am to 11:30am. We are prayer warriors who meet for fellowship, to study God’s Word and pray together. This group began about 40 years ago meeting around dining room tables in Members homes. For the next 9 weeks we will be studying, ‘Jesus Our Joy’ using a study guide on the book of Philippians. We have four of us who take turns leading the lessons. Twice a year we meet at Audrey Sherbino’s home for a special time of fellowship and yummy food!

We are an eclectic group of singles and couples who come together in unity around our desire to learn more and deepen our faith, but also to act together in community and friendship. We are allergic to homework, but love to pour a cup of tea each week, visit and then learn together through a variety of 6-8 week sessions that could include a book, a video, a chapter of the Bible, or following along a sermon series. We often share leadership depending on who feels led to lead. We are kicking off September 11 and we go through to May 2-4 weekend. Our first study will be on a podcast sermon series by Tim Keller called “The Upside Down Kingdom”. We anticipate this will take us 4 weeks. We will then launch into an Apologetics video series of 4 weeks in length to take us to the Christmas break.

We have been meeting for the past 7 years. Originally, the group was lead by the Mark and Doira Lee Bowald. Following their departure to the United States we continued meeting at Clare and Isabel’s home and now meet at Mary Burch’s home. We have a combination of couples and two women who are widows. We will be studying Proverbs throughout the year.

We’ll focus on the parables of Jesus, exploring why He used them so often and what they mean for us today. After the six weeks, the group will decide together whether to keep going, pause until the New Year, or wrap things up.
