Women's Ministry

From Bible study to fellowship, there are many opportunities for the Women of St. Peter’s to get to know, love and encourage each other, while growing in our Christian faith.

Women at the Well

Thursdays, September 11 - December 11

This weekly Bible study on Isaiah is open to all women of St. Peter’s, and a great opportunity to include any family, friends and neighbors. It’s a unique study in that all of St. Peter’s priests will rotate the teachings along with Sonya Cronin, another gifted teacher, each one giving a different perspective. Small group conversations will follow with a time to visit with one another over coffee. The morning begins at an earlier time this year so note 9:15 a.m. on Thursdays. Child care provided. For more information, contact Belinda Dudley at 668-9962 or visit the Adult Formation's classes page.

Better known as the “M&M’s”, the Mary & Martha Circle meets at 10:00 a.m. on the second Monday of each month at Taproots. The main service projects are serving lemonade and coffee between services and supporting our seminarians. Each month, the program reflects either our “Mary” side or our “Martha” side.

It’s a chance to get away from the everyday rush and spend time with God.

Holiday Coffee

Women’s One Day Retreat

Lenten Prayer Retreat

Lent 2009

In Lent 2008, parishioners were so inspired by this morning getaway to Taproots that we’remaking it an annual Lenten discipline. The morning will be full of prayer and quiet retreat time, wrapped up with time to gather over bowls of home-made soup. Contact Carol Long at clong@saint-peters.net for more information or to register.

“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying...”

Tuesday Morning Women’s Bible Study

10:00-11:30 am at the home of Jane Harding
Led by Jane Harding

The Women’s Tuesday Bible Study will be focused this fall on the book of Exodus, a book sometimes viewed being to the Old Testament what the Gospels are to the New Testament. In Exodus, we see God’s redeeming work in his acting to free his chosen people from slavery in Egypt and sustaining them as they are molded and formed into a holy nation to serve God in the world. The class will make use of the LifeGuide Bible Study booklet on Exodus.

Beth Moore Bible Study: A Heart Like His

Wednesdays, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
Led by Nancy Bull

This 11 week Beth Moore study focuses on King David, a man after God’s own heart. Through a workbook and video presentations by Beth Moore, participants will come to know this important Old Testament character, experiencing his ups and downs and coming to know what it means to have a heart shaped by God. By examining the life of David, participants will discover how God can use imperfect people to accomplish his purposes.
