Events

Join us as we gather together to study, sing, pray, and fellowship together! This year, our retreat is going to be structured around our theme of being “Woven Together." We'll explore what it means to be woven together with God, each other, and the world around us. We'll talk about God's love and plans for us and how we might be a community of women that join together to be His hands and feet in the world.

Our speaker will be Andrea Messinger from Glenkirk Church. She has a heart for teaching women, and we are excited to have her with us in February. We want you there too!

REGISTRATION ENDS NOV. 5, 2023

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

This guide is intended to be read in parts each week for four weeks. There is an introduction, a bible reading, exercises to do, and reflection questions. If you are short on time, you can just jump to the end of the section and read the summary questions.

If you want to take a deeper dive, you can read further in the suggested books.

You are invited to attend our Prayer and Healing Service on Thursday, October 19, 2023, at Orchard Community Church, from 6:30 – 7:30 PM, where people trained in prayer and healing will pray for your healing. You are welcome to bring others who need healing to the service.

May God guide and bend your perspective on all he can do to restore us to fullness of life in him.

I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you. Isaiah 46:4 (NLT)

Richard has followed Christ since early high school and has attended Orchard since 1993. Picking up from a high school mission trip, he joined Session in 2008 as the Global Missions elder and went on his first IMPACT short-term mission trip in 2009. Since then, he has represented Orchard in Uganda, Honduras, Ethiopia, Turkey, India, and now Tanzania.

A study of Genesis 12-50

Discover How God Orchestrates Everything for His Glory

There are no minor characters in the story of God. Beginning with Genesis 12, walk alongside the fathers of our faith—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph—to discern Jesus in the stories of His people. Discover how God orchestrates everything for His glory and the good of His people, and see how the God of creation and covenant is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

This group meets Wednesday mornings from 9:30 - 11:30 am in the Orchard Worship Center. The morning begins with a large group worship time and then is broken out into assigned small groups.

For questions about the Wednesday morning Women's Bible Study, please contact Linda Young.
