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 11th - November 13th 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 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 childcare, 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.

Crazy Love led by Elyse Young and Amber Seekins

“You are not alone.” Book – Your Bible

Women of the Bible led by Melissa Holt

Women of the Bible, by Ann Spangler and Jean E. Syswerda, focuses on fifty-two remarkable women in Scripture—women whosestruggles to live with faith and courage are not unlike your own.

Vital and deeply human, the women in this book encourage you through their failures as well as their successes. You'll see how God acted in surprising and wonderful ways to draw them—and you—to himself.

Praying the Names of God led by Michele Madden

Names in the ancient world did more than simply distinguish one person from another, they often conveyed the essential nature and character of a person. This is especially true when it comes to the names of God recorded in the Bible. Praying the Names of God explores the primary names and titles of God in the Old Testament to reveal the deeper meanings behind them.

A Confident Heart led by Audrey Stover

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!

The Hurt and the Healer led by Helene Golston

This class is for those women who are struggling daily with physical chronic pain. I have been living with daily pain for almost 20 years because I have a chronic disease called Scleroderma. For those who live with daily pain there is hope in The Lord. I want to encourage and support the ladies by teaching them how to cope and to look to their Healer for comfort and encouragement.

PURE led by Carrie Ottalogaro

Class BIO: PURE is a class designed for women of all ages. Every woman wants to obey God but we live in a society that flaunts sexuality. Sex was created by God, He designed it 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. To live PURE, you will have to guard your heart. It is a spiritual, emotional, mental & physical battle. During this class, you will be encouraged to take a closer look at the condition of your heart. This class isn't just for single women...it's for all women! If you live with your boyfriend, join us. If you're praying for a Godly man, let us pray with you. Even if you're happily married or enjoy being single, this class is for you.
