When Jesus came to our world He demonstrated and declared a message that was radically different from anything the people of his time had ever seen or heard. We see the difference especially in His treatment of women. In the society of that time women were treated as second-class, more like property than persons. But Jesus honored each woman as a person loved by God. Along with his disciples there were many women who followed Jesus. Women were even present at His death on the cross, and were some of the first to see Him after His resurrection. Without question, women were special to Jesus.
They still are. That's why Shepherd Gate Church emphasizes women's ministry. We want to see every woman free to become all God wants her to be. Whether single, married, divorced, young or old, we encourage every woman to follow Jesus and experience the fulfillment only He can bring.
Here are just some of the special activities for women at Shepherd Gate Church:
Ladies' Bible Study: Each Wednesday morning, women gather for worship, Bible study and prayer. Childcare is provided so that mothers with young children are free to participate. We look forward to seeing what God will reveal as we study His word. If you are looking for a Bible study that challenges you to grow in Christ, and includes prayer and worship, come join us each Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. If you have young children, bring them along for some great activities and fun.
Ladies' Intercessory Prayer Meetings: Monday nights at 7pm, women gather for intercessory prayer. Everyone is free to join us on any given week. The time of intercession is open to all women and includes a time of worship, gathering of all the prayer requests and praise reports, and then we spend time seeking God for each request received. All that is required is that you come with a heart toward God and a desire to pray and intercede. If you want more information, please contact Scotti Duis at 703-961-1040.
Ladies' Annual Spring Retreat: Save these dates April 20 - 22, 2012.
