Gentle

In 2024/2025 Springvale Women will be looking at some difficult cultural issues through a biblical perspective, while also challenging ourselves to filter our responses through love, so that the church is both a safe place for hurting people to land, and also a place that affirms the objective truth of God’s Word. This is the emergence of “Gentle”, a series of talks that are intended to explore the untalked about, the uncomfortable, the things that separate us; in an effort to heal and help and grow together – towards Jesus.

Currently, the controversy between Pro-Life vs Pro-Choice has become forefront in our culture, our politics, news and even everyday discussion. As Christians, we fight for life, but we often forget that while protecting the vulnerable, our call is also to care lovingly for those healing from the trauma of abortion, or confused about the options for help, or facing debilitation decisions that are both frightening and isolating. We are called to love first and foremost. Then, we are called to help. The evening will focus on a discussion of issues around Pregnancy and Motherhood in our culture today, as we learn more about how the church can support and give hope, through Jesus, to women facing difficult circumstances.

• Friday, November 22

Women’s Bible Study

One of the core programs of our Women’s Ministry at Springvale is our weekly Bible studies. These studies are an opportunity for women in our church and in our community to come together to dig deeply into the word of God. The mornings are designed to allow women to minister to one another through discussion of relevant and biblically based topics. To share, to learn, and to pray together.

• Winter Study – Daniel: Faithfulness in Exile
• Tuesdays 9:30-11:00AM

Psalm 40

We all have a story to tell. Our testimony is sharing our life’s experiences; the good, the bad and the ugly and how God intercedes to give us a new story through Jesus. A new hymn of praise, a new voice with which we worship and honour Him! Psalm 40 is a place to for women to share and hear stories of God restoring brokenness to beauty and beyond. God doesn’t want our perfection He wants our heart and our voice. Psalm 40:2-3 “He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.”

REVIVE

REVIVE, is a ministry that challenges women to seek God with determined purpose; to awaken a generation of women who really, authentically believe what we SAY we believe – and are ready to live transformed, for His Glory.

When He left His disciples, Jesus said, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15 NSV). This is what Christians call the Great Commission; to share the gospel message of who Christ is, what He has done for us, and how that changes everything! We are
meant to use our voices and lives to shine light into the darkness. We are called to WITNESS and reveal the God we know, love and serve to a broken and dying world; to those that have yet to see Truth in a culture full of lies.

Table Talk

God calls us to share our lives, our experience and our perspectives with other women. Table Talk is a time of intentional, topic-rich conversation in an intimate interactive format. Join us as we act out the calling of mentorship, as iron sharpens iron. Come ready to listen to other women’s thoughts and discuss your own in very small groups on two current, relevant topics.
