    Rooted Women
    June 21–July 26, 2023

    Wednesday Evening Bible Study
    June 21–July 26, 2023
    6:30–8:30 p.m.


    Something wonderful happened on Wednesday evenings last summer when women gathered in homes around the greater Peoria area to study God’s Word. Flip-flops, lemonade, and camp chairs added up to a summer of casual community, new friendships, and closer relationships with God.

    The women loved this format so much that we are hosting a similar study this summer on Wednesdays from June 21 to July 26. Every woman has a need to be seen and cared about. As we study several New Testament passages, we will learn how Jesus saw and cared for women and gave them a place in His ministry. By studying these passages, we will see that, even today, we are seen and known by a loving and merciful God.

    Monday Morning Prayer
    We meet weekly to pray together.

    All women are invited to attend a weekly time of prayer for our church, our nation, our missionaries, and our own personal requests. We begin each week with a devotional or a sharing time by a missionary. Then we divide into groups and spend time in prayer.

    Moms in Prayer
    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.
