WOTR_SISTERS_IN_CHRIST_LOGO.jpg

Sisters in Christ - A special time for women of the Rock to worship, pray, study the Word of God, share testimonies and enjoy fellowship in a small group setting in order to gain spiritual and practical guidance for everyday living. We meet every Wednesday from September 10th through November 19th ending with a potluck in room 232 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Please note that the building is air conditioned so you may want to bring a sweater or jacket. Feel free to invite a friend.

We will be offering childcare for children 6 months up to age 12 but you will need to register online beforehand. This is mandatory. We need to know how many children will be coming so we have enough workers. For questions regarding KidsCare, please contact Lindsay Ebert at: lindsay.ebert@sdrock.com. Volunteers are needed asap for childcare. Contact Lindsay.

We are pleased to announce that the carpool ministry will be offering rides, only if possible, on Wednesday nights. So if you can give a ride or need a ride, please contact Princess Mathews at pmathews24@gmail.com.

Sisters In Christ includes worship, bible studies, testimonies or ministry speakers, classes (both spiritual and practical) and fellowship every week.

We will be studying Psalm 40 with the guidance of Beth Moore's book," Looking Up When Life is Looking Down."

Are you ready to be delivered?   We will be using the book by Beth Moore: Looking Up When Life is Looking Down, approximately $8   Helene_and_Angela_1.JPG

Military Wives led by Patty Kalaye and Cynthia Hernandez

Do you sometimes feel like your love tank is on E? Does it seem like your spouse or significant other is speaking another language? Well they just might be speaking a different love language. Our class will focus on Gary Chapman's very popular Five Love Languages in the Military Edition to help you decode your own love language as well as others.  This edition includes a small section targeted to military spouses and military personnel but the class is appropriate for everyone because there is very little deviation from the original book.  Single or married knowing your love language can change your relationships! 

This class will be taught by Cynthia Hernandez who is a mother of three daughters and military spouse of 14 years & Patty Kalaye who has worked for the military 13 years.

The book we will use is The Five Love Languages Military Edition by Gary Chapman

Oils from the Bible led by Lejia Johnson

Have you heard of the latest craze: Essential Oils?  Do you feel like it’s just another passing fad?  Just another gimmick with no science to support its claims? Does it smell a little too much like New Age? Just not your cup of “Eastern” tea?  

Those were my thoughts until I had a fresh encounter with Romans 1:20, which tells us that since the creation of the world His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen. The Lord gave me fresh eyes to see how Essential Oils are part of the beauty, design and benefits of His creation, demonstrating His grace and are not in conflict with His desire that all would come to know Jesus.

Ravi Zacharias, Christian apologist, may have said it best, “There are aspects of Eastern culture that are vey good and that are very true, but they are true and good not because they are Eastern.  They are true and good, because they have come from God.” Now, I see Essential Oils as one of the many gifts in His creation, complex yet with simple and practical uses, universal yet with very individual health applications. 

Join me for some time travel through the Bible, discovering just how essential some oils may have been, long before we were around.  On our journey, you hear some facts about how the body is wired, tips to support the body for optimal health, and of course, we will look for God’s hand in it all.

A Confident Heart led by Marsha Lapid

Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough, smart enough, or valuable enough? Do words you say to yourself, or hear from others, make you question your worth and purpose? Renee understands. Even with a great family, a successful career, and a thriving ministry, she still sometimes struggled with paralyzing self-doubt. Offering the voice of a friend, Renee candidly, and sometimes humorously, shares her story of overcoming self-doubt with powerful Biblical Truths that transformed her life — and thousands of others!

PURITY led by Carrie Ottalagano

PURE is a class designed for women of all ages. Every woman wants to obey God but we live in a Carrie_O_1.jpgsociety that flaunts sexuality.  God created sex to be passionate BUT there are guidelines. To experience sex the way God intended, you have to be married. In PURE we will discuss how purity goes beyond sexuality. It's not about the physical act, it's about the condition of our heart.  It is a spiritual, emotional, mental & physical battle. During this class, you will be challenged to live for God in all areas of your life. This class isn't just for single women...it's for all women!  In order to truly live for God, you need to have a place where you can unload your guilt and shame.  God loves us so much!  When we begin to grasp the depth of His love, temporary pleasures of this world are no longer as appealing.  The book we are using is 'Sex and the Single Christian Girl' by Marion Jordan Ellis.

 

Unleashed Hearts (FWO) Group ~ led by Elsa Garwood & Rosa Martinez 

Dealing from a betrayal due to a partner's behavior can be difficult and lonely. Whether it's adultery, addiction to porn, or an emotional affair....it can be a long and painful process. This is a time when you need real women who can support, women who can Rosa_and_Elsa_1.JPGrelate with issues you face and who can help you find real and practical answers.  A Diane Roberts workbook: "Betrayal & Beyond" is needed and can be purchased in the Rock church bookstore. Email Elsa or Rosa to find out which of the three workbooks they are currently using: egarwood@san.rr.com or rosavmartinez@cox.com  The Groups meet on Tuesday or Wednesday nights both from 6:30-8:30pm and both in room 352.  Elsa facilitates on Tuesdays and Rosa facilitates on Wednesdays.
