Get ready ladies...we are working on the new Bible Study for September and we are excited! "A Woman's Heart, God's Dwelling Place" by Beth Moore will certainly be as great of an experience as we have had so far. We are going to dig in to the Old Testament and study the Tabernacle. This time we are going to have an exciting suprise for our introduction to the study. I can't announce it yet until all the arrangements have been made,but it will be a great way to start out the study. Prepare your hearts with prayer and pray for your leaders. Love to all! If you go to lifeway.com you can read about the study and see a video clip from Beth. First, go to http://www.lifeway.com/ then, go to Beth Moore resources, then go to the picture at the top where it says "Loking for resources from Beth Moore?" and click at the bottom where it says view all, then, just click on the Woman's Heart book and it will take you there! Whew. Sounds more complicated than it is. See you soon! Don't forget about MOVIE NIGHT!

Living Proof Live Simulcast
You can have the opportunity to see Beth Moore LIVE! Not in person, but live. On August 1 and 2 you can go to Christ Wesleyan Church in Milton and see a live simulcast via satellite of Beth Moore's Living Proof Live. All of us at WOW have had the privelege of participating in her Bible studies and have been so blessed by them. This is such a great opportunity to see her live and uncensored! :) There is information in Taylor Hall as well as a sign up sheet for those willing to car pool. You don't want to miss out on this great time!

Magdalena...Released From Shame
On Monday July 21, we will show, "Magdelna, released from Shame". This is a unique film which has combined the "Jesus" film from 30 years ago with new footage emphasizing the relationship between Jesus and women. It is our hope that you will invite a friend or relative to this movie who may need to know that Jesus loves them and values them. Sandy Mackin from Campus Crusade for Christ will be our guest that evening and will explain how they are going to use this film to minister to women throughout the world!
We can't wait!
We can't wait!
Homiletics
On Monday, June 16th, Mary Caye Beltz led a workshop on Homiletics. 27 women were in attendence and we learned so much in 2 hours! Of course, no WOW event is complete with out a little bit of fun, so we played a purse game in which groups of 4-5 women had to collectively find items in their purse that started with the letters S T U D Y. We had a winner very quickly and they got award stickers! The class was great! Mary Caye had such valuable insight and did a great job teaching us the value of homiletics. I hope that every one recieved something out of it to further enhance their personal Bible study time!

Loving Well
Loving Well...May 3rd 2008
Love one another... for love comes from God.
What an amazing time we had! When Mom and I first saw this "retreat in a box" we thought, "Oh how wonderful, it will be so fun and easy". God really impressed on us that this was something we needed to do. When we first presented this idea to our WOW group, they received it well, but I am not sure they really thought it would be what it ended up being! Neither did we! God gave us little revelations at a time so we would not panic! How wonderful of Him! At first we prayed, Lord, it would be great if we could plan for 50 women! We have 23 in WOW, so that would only mean 27 more women from the congregation and invited friends. It really seemed like an obtainable goal. But, at first, interest seemed to be very small. So, we were very concerned. That, added with the fact that we had no idea what we were doing, especially me, it was quite a journey of trust and faith. I am the most unorganized person in the world, and the biggest procrastinator, so the fact that this happened was a miracle!
We had so much to pray about, and organize and figure out! It was quite overwhelming at times, but God gave us a peace that only He can provide. As God started revealing his plan to us and preparing hearts, it was getting more and more exciting. He called people who had a lot of experience to those who had none. I can safely say that everyone who answered His call were blessed beyond their expectations!!! We went from wondering if anyone would come to having a waiting list! We had to limit it to 80 due to the amount of small group leaders we had and sheer space. As some dropped out, others came in. In the end, we only had three women not come the day of the event, so we were 77 strong!
God taught us so much through this experience. He taught me personally that by truly leaning on Him, trusting Him and relying on Him, will always be the most rewarding satisfying experience you can imagine! To top it off, He was GLORIFIED! Oh how I love Him more and more.
I hope to be able to download the pictures from Loving Well soon. So far, my attempts have failed. Come back periodically to see if I have figured it out!
