Dear Calvary Women,

The mission of Calvary's Women's Ministry is to lead women into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. It is my prayer that the events offered here will deepen your walk with our gracious Lord and Savior. In addition to many groups for study, discipleship, and fellowship there are special events throughout the year will offer exciting opportunities for teaching, fellowship, and fun. We would love to have you join us!

If you have any questions regarding women's ministry, please feel free to contact me. Our desire is for all women to be able to attend any event that is offered. Both Calvary members and those in our community are invited and encouraged to participate. If the cost presents a difficulty for you, there is scholarship money available upon request.

Women's Evening Study - Falling in Love with Jesus by Dee Brestin and Kathy Trocolli

Wednesdays 6:30 - 8:30 p.m., March 26th - May 28th, N204

Dee Brestin and Kathy Troccoli have helped thousands of women discover the secret of a victorious life, which lis, not in ten steps, but in deepening their love relationship with Jesus. God gives us a powerful metaphore when He tells us that our Maker is our husband, and that He will rejoice over us as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride. No matter your age or marital status, you are His bride, the object of His Affection.

This study will consist of 5 daily lessons each week that you complete on your own. On Wednesday evenings you will view a teaching video (approx. 30 min.) and discuss the daily lessons.

Lutheran Women Today Bible Study

Blessed to Follow: The Beatitudes as a Compass for Discipleship. These Bible study sessions from the LWT Magazine will spark reflection, conversation, and prayer.

Several of Calvary's Women's Circles will use this monthly study. If you are not currently part of a circle and would like to participate in this study you are welcome to join one of the circles who will use this study in their meetings.

Contact Cheri Almquist at 763.231.2981 for more information.
