Women's Ministry
At Gloria Dei we encourage and equip women to grow in Christ, serve in love and share their faith with those around them. Get connected through Bible studies, weekend hikes, special events or one of our casual meet & greets!
Bible Studies
Study the Word with other women who want to go deeper in their faith! Women's Bible Studies are held Wednesday mornings and evenings. Our 2024 Fall schedule kicks off on September 11th with a potluck brunch and classes will begin on Sep. 18th.
The 2024 Fall schedule will kick off on September 11th with a potluck brunch and classes will begin Sep. 18th. Classes are held on Wednesday mornings from 9-11am. All classes meet in LC210/212 for opening prayer before dispersing to separate classrooms. Ladies can choose from two classes:
LifeLight Study - James and Jude. This study include topics of dealing with trials & temptations, taming the tongue, dealing with conflict, patience, contending for the truth, and many more. This class is led by Kathie Stocker and will meet in LC210/212.
Jonah, Navigating a Life Interrupted by Priscilla Shirer. This study is meant to help us see God's handiwork in our lives even, and especially, when things are not going the way we planned. This class is led by Renee Page and will meet in LC214/216.
To be added to the email distribution list please contact Beth Hranicky.
ZOOM Only
The evening class is currently on break for the summer and will resume in September. More details to come.

Weekly Encouragement
We all need encouragement! That's why we send a Text Message of Encouragement each week to women reminding them how big our God is and how much He loves us! To receive this message as a text on your phone, contact Renee Page.
Lord, when I feel unsettled, remind me You are a firm foundation. Help me stand on Your truth, trust in Your word, and lean on You for peace.

Discipleship Adventures
Day Adventures
The trip to High Island in April was so much fun we want to plan another trip soon! Keep checking back for more details on a potential trip to Goats on the Bayou/Brazos Bend State Park later this year. Contact Lori Knutson for additional details and/or to be added to her email distribution list.
For more information contact Lori Knutson.
Weekend Adventures
Women's Discipleship Adventure weekends are planned each year for camping, hiking and time outdoors in God's creation! Weekend trips include amazing fellowship and a devotion. A short trip for the fall is being discussed. Contact Lori Knutson to be added to the WDA email distribution list. All women are invited to join. Physical exertion level for weekend activities is moderate to difficult unless otherwise stated in the registration.
Saturday Walk-n-Talk - July 13th @ 7am
Mark your calendar for the next Walk-n-Talk on Saturday, July 13th at 7am. Meet at Baybrook Park at 4221 Todville Road in Seabrook (right next to the tennis courts). We'll walk the trails heading toward the Bay and make a pitstop in Pine Gully Park. We can either head back to the starting point or continue on depending on how everyone feels!
Wear comfortable shoes and bring your water and any sunblock or bug spray you might need. There are many areas with no tree canopy so sunglasses or a hat are a good idea. Renee will be leading this walk as Lori is preparing for her daughter's wedding! Congratulations!!
For more information contact Renee Page.
Camping & Hiking Adventures
An adventure is being discussed. We have high hopes for a trip in Fall 2024 so keep checking back for more details! If you are an experienced hiker who could potentially co-lead a trip with Lori, please reach out to her.
Contact Lori Knutson with any questions.
