The life of a woman today isn’t really all that different from that of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord’s feet, but the demands of being a mother and wife and wearing all the hats that we women wear becomes hard. Like Martha, you really want to serve Him, yet you struggle with weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy because of all that you need to balance, and you start to struggle.
We ladies all need “living room intimacy” with Christ that naturally overflows in “kitchen service” for Him. Then we can draw close to God, our families, and relationships with those around us. Sometimes as mothers we feel we are not godly enough or loving enough or doing enough. And yet, there is Jesus, right in the middle of your busy Mary/Martha life. We want to see Jesus help you grow as He extends the same invitation that He gave to the two sisters of Bethany! There will be a team of “Titus Women” who have had “life experiences” to help you grow in wisdom and knowledge. Some of our topics will be:
- Christian Parenting
- Finding Balance in Our Day-to-Day Lives
- Bringing Out the Best in Your Marriage and Your Children
- Daily Tips and Cooking for Your Family
- Becoming a Woman Who Pleases God
If you have attended Mom-to-Mom or have children ages 6 and up, this is the Bible study for you. It is our desire to encourage moms to grow personally in their understanding of God and His Grace and how Christ can be a part of their everyday life.
This will be a four-year course. We will be going through four books by author Joanna Weaver. A 12-week session, which will meet every other week on opposite Tuesday mornings from Mom-to-Mom, begins January 21, 2014. There is a sign up list for those interested at the women’s ministry table on Sundays between services. Or you can sign up online at lbfchurch.com. Cost will be minimal and childcare will be provided.
Led by Julie Fachner and Donna Gaudy, you may contact them with any questions.
