Tuesday Morning Bible Study | Normi Howard
“Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you.” 1 John 2:24
Through the letters of the apostle John, we are reminded to hold fast to our faith and live what we believe as we learn more about abiding in the truth. Join Normi and the group in the study of Abide by Jen Wilkin.
Cost: $23Rooted Women Bible-Only Bible Study | Jorie Dahlin | Acts
Have you ever wondered how the early church loved well and shared the Gospel from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth? Would you like to learn how you can do the same? If so, please join us for this Bible-Only Bible Study on the book of Acts. 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 the lives of the early church, and how He works in our lives today.
Quilters & More | Pat Ivaska
With a passion for quilting, this sweet group of women meet for a devotional, share prayer requests, enjoy showing their quilting, and participate in a demonstration or a workday. All women are welcome. If you love to quilt or want to learn, this group of godly women is for you.
Side-by-Side
Side-by-Side is a Christian international group for the wives of doctors and dentists. This group offers support and encouragement in a biblically based study. This semester the women will be studying the book James with Francis Chan through RightNow Media. The book of James calls us to action and prayer and teaches us how to live true faith in the midst of trials. Through the book of James, God calls us to deep relationship where everything in life revolves around Him.
MoCo Bible Study | Rachel Escher
This group of moms with littles will be studying 1 Peter and the book Hard Is Not the Same Thing as Bad by Abbie Halberstadt. Come and see how the normal challenges of raising children can make you more like Jesus.
MoCo Fridays
Mom Collective is a community where you can come as you are, be known, supported, and encouraged, as we adventure together through the little years of motherhood.

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.
Please feel free to reach out to Brenda Garrison, Women’s Ministry Director, with any questions or comments.
