Women of grace

The Women of Grace Ministry exists to build up and edify women in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, no matter the stage of life they're in. Gathering together in many forms, from Bible Study to Women's Retreats, from holiday socials to times of prayer, the Women of Grace resolve to bring God glory by studying His word, discipling one another, praying together, and spending time in fellowship so we are constantly "seeking the things that are above." 


"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God."

Colossians 3:1

  • WOMEN OF GRACE EVENTS

    Women of Grace Holiday Prep Event

    Saturday, November 14th

    Harry Griffen Park, La Mesa

    9:00-11:00 am


    Hello dear sisters! We are planning a Coffee in the Park event on Saturday, November 14th from 9:00-11:00am. It will be a time to chat and consider together the upcoming holiday season. The holidays can produce anxiety in the best of years, but with all the dynamics of 2020 we thought it would be helpful to proactively prepare our hearts for this year. The holidays will look and feel different given the extended Covid season. You might have to navigate family pandemic differences, disappointment over holiday events that can’t be held, interrupted traditions, etc. We want to brainstorm together so we can help each other walk in a manner worthy of the gospel. Mostly we want to consider Jesus and his supreme place in these holidays. Bring a chair and your beverage of choice. We will meet in the grassy area just past the playground on the other side of the street.

  • Women's bible study: 2020-2021

    WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDIES ARE BACK! 


    Dearest Sisters,


    We are ready and excited to kick off another year of Women’s Bible Study. This year more than ever we see the need to throw ourselves into the Word as we’re living in these strange and changing times. Luke tells us in his gospel that the people of his day were hanging on Jesus’ words. That is our prayer for us this year, that our hearts would hang on the words of God. We can be hanging onto a lot of things that might not be around tomorrow, but as Jesus said… “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” Any time we spend in the Bible is going to be time well spent, in this life and the next. It’s the best investment!


    Here are the books we will be studying:


    Nov 18/19 - March 03/04

    Proverbs: The Ways of Wisdom by Kathleen Nielson.


    Mar 17/18 - June 02/03

    Son of God: A study on the Gospel of Mark, Part 1 by Keri Folmar.


    Two study options for you to choose from:


    Wednesday, 9:30-11:00am, Harry Griffen Park in the gazebo next to the amphitheater.

    Our desire would be to provide childcare, but unfortunately it’s not going to work to accommodate young children in these less-than-ideal circumstances. Our thought and hope is that moms with young children will be able to join us on Thursday evenings.


    Thursday 7:30-9:00pm on Zoom. 

    We proved last year that our study can still thrive online! It’s no one’s favorite choice, but we want to provide an option for those who can’t meet in person. Again, these are less-than-ideal times and we look forward to transitioning to in-person meetings for Thursday nights as

    we are able. 

    Meeting ID: 869 9382 3554

    PW: 057561


    We are glad to be able to use these contexts to build up the women of Grace church. May the Lord

    increase our faith this year as we know him better!


    Let us know if you have any questions.


    In Christ,


    Sharon

  • Notice: The 2020 Women's Retreat Has Been Cancelled

    Murrieta let us know recently that they have cancelled all retreats through the end of April. We will reschedule again for next year around the same time. There is too much unknown at this point to try to move it to a later date this year.

     

    We are so sad that we won’t be meeting! We wish our retreat on Anxiety could have happened before this Corona scare, but in God’s sovereignty it didn’t. But also in God’s sovereignty he had a few of us immersing ourselves in this topic. We are going to be exploring ways to get this information to you to help you lean into God’s comfort during these anxious days. Stay tuned…

     

    In his email Tab recommended this playlist from the Gospel Coalition. This is an incredible resource. There is something about music that gets to the hard-to-reach corners of our souls. We encourage you to take a break from the news and spend time engaging your heart, mind and soul with this playlist. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/songs-comfort-anxious-souls/
