Hi ladies!

I have been wanting to do this for a long time. I am going to start a Women’s Bible Study (or Small Group) for Northminster women, Young Life moms, and really any woman who would be interested in joining us. If it is a hit and our group gets too big, we’ll split into two groups. I picked out a 10 week study by Beth Moore called “Daniel: Lives of Integrity, words of prophecy.” I have done a Beth Moore study before and they are really good.

I want to hear back about how many people are interested, and vote on either Wednesday evenings from 7 pm-9 pm with dinner, or Saturday mornings, maybe 8-10am or 9-11am with coffee. I hope to start either Saturday, May 10, or Wednesday, May 14.

Please let me know via email if you are interested, and which time you would prefer. Thanks! I’m very excited about this, and hope you’ll join me.

Love, Chelsea

PS - Once I hear back about how many people are interested, I get a discount at Berean Christian bookstores so can buy a bunch of the work books. You can get them from me at our first meeting if you don’t want to go to Berean.

The Women’s Association of Northminster is a part of Presbyterian Women in the Presbytery. We meet with that group once a month September through June and join in their mission outreach programs. We also attend regularly the 5 meetings per year of Church Women United which includes women of all denominations. In addition we have our local missions here in the area such as Northminster, its Youth Group, Young Life, and Community Christian Service Agency known as CCSA which provides needed supplies from food and clothing to help with household furnishings, etc.

We also have two Bible Study Groups on the second Tuesday of each month, September through June using the study guide provided by the Presbytery Church’s national headquarters. The coming year’s study will concentrate on the book of Luke. Any Northminster women are welcome to join us at any time. Faith Circle meets at 9:30a.m. and Rebecca Circle at 7p.m.

Friday, May 2, we will be meeting at the Pioneer Oceanview United Church of Christ at 250 Fairfield St. here in Clairemont in the Bay Park area. Salad pot-luck will follow the meeting.

Their ministry is through theater and he has performed in London’s Houses of Parliament to California’s Venice Beach. There is no charge but there will be a goodwill offering, half of which will go to the National Church Women United, the other half to local group for their mission work. We hope to see many of our Northminster women there.
