Overnight Retreat: Pray Like a Saint

Friday, January 10 - Saturday, January 11 at Montgomery Bell State Park

What could two women mystic saints of old have to teach us about prayer? Come and listen as Hildegard of Bingen (1098) and Julian of Norwich (1342) welcome us into ways of prayer that enliven our imagination, offer hope for life in 2025, and confirm that we are deeply loved. In the midst of the swirl of busy life, are you seeking some peace? We invite you to enjoy a restful overnight retreat with opportunity for delightful conversation and fellowship at beautifully renovated Montgomery Bell State Park. Led by Margery Kennelly and our engaging guest speaker, Sharon Cottingham, you can enter a time of spiritual growth and reflection with other women of the church.  The retreat cost is $125 per person (paid directly to the church) and a special group rate at the lodge of $170 per room (paid directly to the lodge).

Moms' Bible Study

Wednesdays | 9:00 – 10:30am in Akers Hall (upstairs)  

Join the Rev. Sarah Puryear as moms with kids of all ages gather to learn about prayer by reading biblical stories of conversations with God. Join us we look deeper at Moses encountering God in the burning bush, Hannah pouring out her heart to God at the temple, and Jesus taking time to pray alone during his ministry. We’ll be learning about and practicing different forms of prayer along the way! Our time together will center around warm fellowship, conversation, prayer, and of course, Scripture. This group is a great way to deepen your understanding of God’s Word and get connected with other women in a similar season of life. Please register online for the class and for childcare, if needed. Newcomers are welcome at any time!

Women's Bible Study

Thursdays  |  9:30 – 11:00am in Dandridge Hall

Borrowing from best-selling studies by Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, Lisa Harper, Kelly Minter, and Jennifer Rothschild, our 5-session study explores crucial moments in the lives of five Old Testament figures — Esther, Gideon, Malachi, Nehemiah, and Hosea. Through their stories, we discover how God uses the lives of ordinary people for his glory and the good of his people. Join us for strength and encouragement as we study The Faithful.
