“Grow in the Grace and Knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. To Him be the Glory, both Now and to the Day of Eternity. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18

 

Welcome!     

Dear Ladies,
We are so glad that you have chosen to join us, with all of our Covenant Ladies, as we experience growing together. Our desire through Women's Ministry is to provide a welcoming environment where you will be encouraged and equipped to "walk in a manner worthy of your calling."

We are excited about the plans we have to minister to you. As you interact with other believers, we want to help you maintain a vital love relationship with God and watch you grow in your faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ. In addition, we want to help you to exercise your unique role within our body of believers through your own personal ministry. Covenant has many opportunities for you to invest for eternity as you give of your unique gifts.

Join us for a time of learning, laughing, changing, giving...and growing together in God's love

 

 

Fall Bible Studies

We invite you to join us in a  Bible study, a time of discipleship, prayer, fellowship, encouragement – and the opportunity to grow together in Christ. We have morning and evening studies available, as well as, “drop in” studies for those who need a more flexible schedule.

 

 

In the Name of Jesus by Henri J.M. Nouwen | Tuesdays 10-11am | Room E202 |  September 7, September 14 and September 21 (3 weeks)

"From Relevance to Prayer"; "From Popularity to Ministry", "From Leading to Being Led"...these are the studies in this book that will encourage you to live out a vibrant Jesus-centered life.  This brief 3-week study will be helpful to all women wanting to live with the integrity and compassion of Christ.  ("Drop In Study")

The Prayer of Our Lord by Philip Graham Ryken | Tuesdays  10-11am | Room E202 |

October 5 through November 16

The Lord's Prayer reveals the heart of Jesus to a broken and needy people.  In a society where people are bombarded by worry and concern, violence and evil,  the Lord's Prayer reminds us that God is our Protector and Provider.  Join us as we take a closer look at the Lord's Prayer and learn more about how this pattern of prayer leads us to a greater faith in the Savior.

One in a Million:  Journey to Your Promised Land by Priscilla Shirer

Tuesdays 6pm | Room E201 | September 14 through October 26 (7 weeks)

This study is an opportunity to conquer our wilderness living and engage in the abundant life God has waiting for us as we allow Him to take the lead in our daily walk. We will follow the journey of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt to the promises of Canaan as we seek to take Biblical principles from "the pew to the pavement" in our own personal pilgrimage and experience His power, hear His voice and enter into abundant, promised land living.

Facilitated by Sara Smith | ssmith@robinsonadams.com

Please contact Sara to reserve a workbook for this study. 

Nursery childcare available by reservation (for reservations, call 871-7004, ext 134). 

 

 

The Living Word:  10 Life Changing Ways to Experience the Bible by Doug Webster

Wednesdays 9:15-10:30am | Room E301 A/B | September 15 through December 8

When we ask the Lord to speak to us, we are opening ourselves up to a dialogue with God that promises to be both comforting and challenging.  Christians believe that the Bible is God's Word, revealing the truth about the human condition and God's redeeming love.  Our study will focus on this Word of Truth and Love, as we seek to better understand how God speaks to our hearts and minds.  The transformative Word of God meets us where we are and speaks into our lives, such as they are - busy, broken, blessed, or bored.  There are many ways to hear the voice of God and each week we will explore one of those ways.  Whether you are single or married - old or young - a long-term believer or a thoughtful seeker, this Bible study will cause you to think about your life in a new light.  Please come join us!

Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy by Beth Moore

Wednesdays 6:30 - 7:30pm | Room E201 | September 1 through November 17

Just as the prophet Daniel faced unbelievable pressure to compromise his faith in a hostile culture and was constantly confronted by temptations and threats, today's believers face similar trials.  Daniel models how to develop enduring integrity in an enticing world.  This book explores thrilling prophecies from the time of Daniel through the second coming of Christ.
