Monthly brunch, lunch, dinner, and coffee groups run from October through May. It’s a great way to try out new restaurants in Edmond or OKC while getting to know a small group of women! Groups meet on the second Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday of each month. New groups have just started. Space is available in the Saturday brunch group and the Saturday coffee group. Limited space is available in the Thursday lunch and Monday dinner groups. Contact Lori Walle at 405-213-4725 or LWalleSL@aol.com to be added to one of these groups.

Come As You Are Class

Led by Molly Burke and Cassie Sikes

Watch and discuss the videos for No Other Gods: The Unrivaled Pursuit of Christ by Kelly Minter. Learn to Identify the gods you may be unknowingly serving and the lies they tell you. As you dethrone your modern-day idols, you’ll be set free for the more abundant life Jesus gives. No registration needed, just come!

A City on a Hill: Learning God’s Wisdom

Led by Sara Alcon

We have been taught by sin and life to doubt the goodness of God and each other. God wants to restore us to those relationships, but we must transform and renew our way of seeing God and the world around us. Theme verses are Romans 12:1-2 and Matthew 5:14-16. No registration needed.

Habits of the Household: Simple Practices to Help You and Your Family Grow Closer to God (videos by Justin Whitmel Earley)

Led by Emily Schuermann

Parenting happens in habits. Discover simple practices you can implement around your daily routines and seemingly mundane moments that will lead to a lifetime of growing closer to God–both for you and everyone in your home. As you create rhythms around your everyday routines, you will find your family has a greater sense of peace and purpose as your home becomes a place where you learn how to love each other and love God.

CWBS (CENTER FOR WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDIES)

“The Gospel of Luke: A Promise Fulfilled”

CWBS is open to all women in the community who desire an in-depth study of God’s word. If you are looking for a welcoming place to dig into the Word with other women who desire a deeper relationship with God, we invite you to join us this year for a study of Luke.

“Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us. . .” (Luke 1:1), but ultimately, God inspired only four men to record the message of the good news of Jesus Christ. Luke, as one of the four inspired authors, expands the story of Jesus and shows us a gracious God that keeps his promise to bring salvation to all people. Not only does Jesus bring that salvation, but he demonstrates it through his interactions with people. He shows us God’s love for the rejected of society-especially women, sinners, the poor, and the powerless. Luke’s Gospel is very practical – packed with parables, teachings, and interactions found nowhere else in scripture. The Gospel of Luke has the power to impact us in a unique way and shape us into followers of Jesus that demonstrate his love and compassion to the world.

Meeting Times & Registration

Nine small groups (including one Zoom group) meet weekly on Thursday mornings from 9:30–11:00 September 5 through March 13. A Wednesday evening group will meet from 6:30-7:30, September 4 through March 12. CWBS does not meet through the holiday season, from Thanksgiving through the New Year. A study guide may be purchased on the first day of class for $10.

Childcare for infants through age five is provided during all of our CWBS Thursday morning studies and monthly luncheons. Please pre-register for childcare when you sign up for CWBS. Wednesday night offers bible classes for all ages, infants through high school.
