Winter Study
Have you ever wondered if we’re missing it? It’s crazy if you think about it. The God of the universe — the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and e-minor — loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.
Whether you’ve verbalized it yet or not . . . we all know something’s wrong.
​
Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts — it’s falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same.
​
Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.
​
Ladies will meet weekly on Tuesdays evenings for fellowship and discussion. Contact Shari Meeks 307-413-7645 to RSVP or for more information.
Pick Your Level of Participation
We recognize that we all have varied schedules limiting time available to each of us, so we encourage you to participate at whatever level you are most comfortable. We each will wrestle in different ways with the text, so choose what works for you. In addition to our monthly fellowship gatherings, you can choose from the following:
​
Reading/Listening: You can choose to read the book or listen to the book via your favorite audio book app. Ladies are encouraged to do their best to follow the reading schedule posted, but please don't feel that you can't come to the weeklly meetings if you haven't made it all the way through the reading material for that gathering. ​
​
Reading/Listening + Workbook: Reading plus the workbook will give you the greatest depth of this study. This does add some time and energy to processing the text, but it will be immensely helpful to each of you!! Again, please don't feel that you can't come to the weekly gatherings if you haven't made it all the way through the workbook questions.
​
Monthly Fellowship Gatherings: Community is important for each of us, and we all have so much to offer each other in terms of prayer, encouragement, words of wisdom or nourishing our souls with fellowship rooted in Jesus. So, come as you are. Our hosts will be posted below - if you are able, please bring a dish to pass; your book and workbook and a heart eager to fellowship. ​
