The Visible Presence of Christ

Women’s Ministries

2008/2009

Our hope is that we would be able to
encourage you to walk with Jesus,
not for a day or week
but . . .
for a Lifetime.

 

BIBLE STUDIES

Come get to know your Bible and the women at Damascus during a weekly study time. Whether you’re just beginning to become familiar with God’s word or you’ve been studying your Bible for years, we’d love to help you find a group that’s just right for you!!

Fall/Winter 2008

The following classes will be starting the week of September 15th, and
we would love to have you join us. Both morning and evening
sessions are planned, with nursery and pre-school classes provided
for Tuesday morning classes (and Sunday evening beginning 9/28).


Tuesday Morning-Precepts: Understanding the Anger of God - A
study of Micah, Nahum and Habakkuk.

Micah: In the midst of despair there is always hope, because God is
the God of hope. In the midst of corruption, there is always the
Word of the Lord, the message of truth, because God is not silent.

Nahum: Can a nation forget God, act with great cruelty against
another nation, and escape the judgment of God?

Habakkuk: The central truth of Habakkuk spurred a reformation in a
troubled monk who hated the righteousness of a God he could not
please. His name was Martin Luther.

What will come to pass in and through your life as a result of studying truths written nearly two and a half millennia ago?

Begins Sept. 16, 8:40–10:30 A.M. with Marilee at DCC.
Childcare provided. 503-658-3179 Cost: $11 for workbook.

Breaking Free

Making Liberty in Christ a Reality in Life, leads us through a study of
the Scriptures to discover the transforming power of Christian
freedom. Based on Isaiah 61: 1-4, this in-depth study draws parallels
between the captive Israelites and today’s believers.

Begins Sept. 16, 8:40–10:30 A.M. with Karen Lampinen at DCC,
childcare provided. $16

MENTORING MINISTRY

This is an opportunity for women of all ages to connect with one another for mutual friendship, spiritual growth, encouragement and accountability.
Together you can choose to pursue an area for growth such as developing your spiritual life (i.e. Bible study, praying, journaling, service), sharing a hobby or skill (i.e. cooking, gardening, decorating, crafts), or exploring a mutual interest (i.e. parenting, health goals).

Whether you are seeking encouragement from a more “seasoned” woman or you are a more experienced woman who desires to reach out, the Mentoring Ministry is here for you. Mentors receive brief training and ongoing support.
