Fall 5-WEEK STUDY
JOIN IN!​
Faith Over Fear! That is the theme for the 2024-2025 Women’s Ministry year at Divine Redeemer Lutheran Church and we could not be more excited. Our theme verse is from Psalm 56:3-4, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you, In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”.
​
This year is our 10th annual Fall Study! WOW! The book we’ve chosen is Trillia Newbell’s ‘Fear and Faith’. The books are just $10 each. Each person will be provided with a free study guide. There will be multiple study times offered on 4 days of the week.
You can sign up for the Kick-off event and order a book on the same form here at drlc.org/study. You can also sign up by stopping by Stephanie’s office, or emailing Stephanie.

pray for the needs of our sisters,
-
serve others with our time and talents, and

Weekly Schedule of Studies
WOMENS BIBLE STUDIES
Deeply rooted in Scripture, you can find women’s Bible studies offered from September through April each year. In addition, we offer a summer study. The Bible studies range with a variety of topics and times offered. Refer below for the current Bible study schedule or click on the g4G annual brochure below. If none of the in-person times work, we offer various online/pre-recorded sessions you can watch. Find those on the g4G facebook group.
EVENTS
The g4G ministry year runs September – April. In September, our first event is a “kick-off” event. In the past we’ve had a Christian comedian, a food truck night, inspirational speakers and more. The theme for the year is introduced and there is always time for connection, worship and prayer. Throughout the year we host several g4G events and close the year with an Oasis (inspirational speaker) event in April. Past events throughout the year have included a Soup-Off, Mother-Daughter Tea, Faith & Fitness, Yoga & Scripture Meditation, Contemplative Prayer, and more!
CHRISTMAS BY CANDLELIGHT
Our Christmas by Candlelight event has been in existence since 2009. It is a beautiful evening held in the Great Hall at Lake Country Lutheran High School. Our hostesses decorate their tables with Christmas décor and warm lights and invite women to start off the season of Christmas with the right perspective. This event is held the first Thursday in December and it includes a complimentary meal with 100% of the donations going directly to the ministry we are supporting for the year.
2024 DATE IS DECEMBER 5TH
