Women's Wed AM Bible Study
2024-02-28 08:00 - 2024-02-29 09:00
WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY | WEDNESDAYS @ 8AM
Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray.
In this 7-session study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.
Cost of the book is $25. Study starts February 28 (or later if inclement weather between now and then) at 8am. Click here to register.

Hello Girls on the Go and friends. After our last GOG outing, people decided they wanted to attend the ballet of Romeo and Juliet at Clowes Memorial Hall (4602 Sunset Ave, Indpls 46208).
The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra will be playing, and the Indianapolis Ballet will be dancing. It is a historical first event in Indianapolis to have the symphony accompany a ballet.
This is open to anyone male or female that would like to attend. Sue Galloway will be going to Clowes Box Office to get the tickets, so we don’t have to pay Ticketmaster fee. Tickets are $49 each total for main floor seating. Show is Friday, May 3, at 7:30pm. Sue must have the money and RSVP by Sunday, March 10. Sue will take cash, check, Venmo, or Apple Pay.

Interesting facts:

Children being treated for cancer, premature infants, and children having heart surgery need blood and platelets from donors of all types, especially type O.
Blood that closely matches that of a patient is less likely to be rejected by the patient and can mean fewer complications after a transfusion.
The average adult body contains 10 pints of blood.
