Women of Grace
Welcome to Women's Ministry at Grace Presbyterian Church! We are thrilled you stopped by our page!
Our goal is to create a space where each woman feels welcomed and cared for. Whether you need a soft place to land, or you're ready for an in-depth Bible study, or something in-between, we hope you'll find what you need for the season of life you're in.
We offer weekly Bible studies, support groups, and special events. Please feel free to reach out to me, Brenda Garrison, with any questions or comments.
+ | | Tuesday Bible Studies
Growth and Connection
|
Tuesday mornings at Grace Pres are a fun time of studying God’s Word while growing in relationship with other women—fancy wording for making friends!
Studies will run Tuesdays 9:30–11:30 a.m.
A children’s program is available during our studies:
- Nursery care
- Preschool program which includes: Bible lesson, craft, snack, and activities
Groups offered Spring 2023
Tuesday Morning Bible Study | Normi Howard
In a world that boasts more connection, many people feel less connected and less known than ever. This is not true in our relationship with God. “God’s heart is moved by your cries for help, your shouts for joy, your unspoken worries...Mark’s account of Jesus paints Him as a deeply personal and intimate God too,” shares Lisa Harper. Join Normi and the group in the study of The Gospel of Mark: The Jesus We’re Aching For by Lisa Harper.
Cost: $20
Rooted Women Bible-Only Bible Study | Jorie Dahlin | Esther and Ruth
Do people in the Bible ever seem distant to you? Would you like to know Esther and Ruth as if they were close personal friends, while deepening friendships with women at Grace? If so, please join us for this Bible-Only Bible Study. Each week, we will read a chapter of the Bible together and discuss it using a series of thought-provoking questions. We will gain a fresh perspective on how God worked in both their lives, and how He works in our lives today.
Quilters & More | Pat Ivaska

We meet weekly to pray together

Praying for our children

Moms In Prayer is an international group whose vision is that “every school in the world would be covered with prayer.” MIP helps moms (and grandmothers) in their local schools to pray for the children, teachers, staff, administration, and school board. They meet for one hour a week.
We at Grace Presbyterian are happy to host several groups as listed below.
You may contact Elizabeth Parker for more information about an existing group or to start one for your school.

MATTHEW 28:18-20
And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
