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.”
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.
PILGRIMAGE
“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
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.
Drop in to ask for prayer, share a praise report and or pray for our Springvale community. Beginning September 6 we will be meeting live on Facebook weekdays at 12:30. The prayer time will feature devotionals from the Daily Office. Join our Facebook Group and come when you can.
