Bible Studies

Morning Classes | Wednesdays 9:00-11:00am

We gather at 9:00am, and classes are held from 9:30-11:00 am.  All classes meet in LC210/212 for opening prayer, updates, and announcements before dispersing to separate classrooms. Ladies can choose from two classes:

 LifeLight Study: Ezra and Nehemiah - Kathie Stocker is leading a LifeLight Study on Ezra and Nehemiah in LC210/212. She is an engaging teacher, and you will truly enjoy time in the Word with her and her group. LifeLight's Ezra and Nehemiah study is from the Old Testament at a point in time when Israel is returning from Exile. The people will need to rebuild their lives of worship, prayer, and purity while rebuilding the wall and renewing their covenant by asking God to remember them. 

The Ezra and Nehemiah Bible study group will take a break on April 16th for Holy Week, resume on April 21st, and wrap up the spring session on May 21st. 

NICE: Why We Love to Be Liked and How God Calls Us to More - Debbie Baacke's Finding God Faithful group is wrapping up their book and study on Wednesday, April 30. Debbie is going to spend the last few weeks of our spring session using Sharon Hodde Miller's book NICE. Through video, discussion, and writing the group will learn to stop being "nice" and start practicing true kindness, honesty, courage, and joy by following Jesus and using Biblical wisdom. Books are available in the front office and may be purchased for $20. 

Ladies, make sure to join us on May 21st after Bible study for fellowship and good food. Bring your favorite dish and spend some time in friendship with all of your Bible study friends before we break for summer. See you there!


Evening Classes | Wednesdays 6:30-8:00pm

When You Pray: A Study of Six Prayers in the Bible - Dixie Russo is leading a wonderful study called When You Pray. Each lesson is a stand-alone session on prayer, so please join in even if you have not attended before. Books may be purchased from most large book retailers. The group meets via Zoom on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00pm and is open to all women. Please contact Dixie Russo or Lori Knutson for more information.   


Women's Discipleship Adventures (WDA)

Saturday Walk and Talks | Next Walk: July 26th

Ladies, you are invited to join us for a Saturday morning of walking and spending time in fellowship and good conversation.

In July, we are going to gather at Exploration Green. This amazing green space was once a golf course. Now, it is 200 acres of nationally recognized wetlands and stormwater management. The array of God's creatures you will see while walking along the trails is amazing!

We will meet in the parking lot at 16203 Diana Lane at 7:00 am. After a short prayer, we will head out for about an hour of conversation and fellowship with Christian sisters from all over the area.  

We look forward to seeing you on July 26th. Contact Lori Knutson with any questions. 

As always, keep walking with the Lord and allow His Word to be a lamp for your feet and a light for your path (Psalm 119:105). See you out on the trails!


Day & Weekend Adventures | See you on our next trip!

The Women's Discipleship Adventure group plans day trips and weekend adventures throughout the year. We gather and go kayaking, bird watching, camping, hiking, and more. Our focus is coming together as daughters of the King and spending time outdoors in God's creation! Every trip is partnered with prayer and time in fellowship, and weekend trips have a Bible-focused devotional we use throughout our three and four-day adventures. 

All women are invited. Physical exertion levels for day trips vary based on the event but are typically moderate. Weekend activities are usually moderate to difficult, unless otherwise stated in the registration. 

Contact Lori Knutson for more information and to be added to the WDA email distribution list.
