Monthly Restaurant Groups

New monthly brunch, lunch, dinner, and coffee groups began in October. 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 whatever day (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.) of each month. Groups with spaces include Sunday lunch, Monday lunch, Tuesday lunch, or Friday brunch. Contact Lori Walle at 405-213-4725 or LWalleSL@aol.com if you would like to be added to one of these groups.

Come As You Are Class in A121

Led by Bethany Becknell, March 8-May 17 (not March 15), 6:30-7:30 PM

Watch and discuss the videos for God of Freedom (Exodus 19-40) by Jen Wilkin. God is our strong Deliverer who sets us free from sin and death to worship Him through obedience. See what the stories in Exodus 19-40 teach God’s children today about how to live as those set free. This video series follows the God of Deliverance: Exodus 1-18 videos from Spring 2022. No study guide to purchase unless you want to do it on your own. No registration needed, just come!

Passage Discovery: Part 1 (March 8-April 19) & 2 (April 26-May 31) in A119

Led by Tonya Patton & Robyn Yahola, 6:30-7:30 PM

Is your Bible study stale? Do you want to learn a new tool for digging deeper? In Part 1 we will utilize a tool called Homiletics to dig deeper into Ephesians. In Part 2 we will utilize a variety of tools such as verse mapping, character study, and word study as we dive into Galatians. Sign up for one or both. Minimal weekly homework and participation expected. Bringing a laptop is helpful but not required. Registration is requested at the link below but not required.

Ruth: loss, love & legacy (videos by Kelly Minter) in A117

Led by Robin Poteet, March 8-May 31, 6:30-7:30 PM

We all struggle through seasons of bitterness, tears, and loss. The story of Ruth affirms that there is hope for all of us, and it is found in the power and protection of a sovereign God who never takes His eyes off us. Pre-register at the link below.

REGISTER HERE for the Spring 2023 Wednesday Night classes. Contact Lori Walle at 405-213-4725 or LWalleSL@aol.com with any questions.

SUMMER WEDNESDAY NIGHTS

Jesus and Women: In the First Century and Now (videos by Kristi McClelland)

Led by Nycke White, June 7-August 30, 6:30-7:30 PM, in A117

Join biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland on those dusty roads of Galilee as she transports you back to Jesus’ world, stepping into the footsteps of the women who came face to face with the living God. Examine the historical and cultural climate of first-century Middle Eastern society to not only understand Jesus more deeply but to fuel your worship of Him today.

Register HERE by May 31 for the Summer 2023 Wednesday Night small group study. Contact Lori Walle at 405-213-4725 or LWalleSL@aol.com with any questions.

fall WEDNESDAY NIGHTS

Our 2023 Women’s Fall Speaker Series The “I Can” Life of Philippians 4:13 starts September 7. Lesson topics will include selections from Jennifer Rothschild’s 4:13 podcast. A list of speakers and titles is coming soon!

Abide: A Study of 1, 2, & 3 John (videos by Jen Wilkin)

Led by Mary Ann Rosenbalm at MRCC, January 11-March 29 (not March 15), 9:30-11 AM

How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? The apostle John reminds an early church (and us) facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it.

Better: A Study of Hebrews (videos by Jen Wilkin)

Led by Debbie Petersen at MRCC, January 11-April 5 (not March 15), 9:30-11 AM

Explore how the entirety of Scripture points to Jesus Christ. Discover how He fulfills and completes the work of angels, prophets, priests, and ceremonial laws, establishing a better covenant.

Isaiah: Striving Less and Trusting God More (videos by Melissa Spoelstra)

Led by Terra Myers at MRCC, March 22-May 3, 9:30-11 AM

It’s one thing to say you rest in God, but does your stress level, worry, or general lack of peace give evidence that you rely on Him? Let go of striving and learn to trust in God’s character, His comfort, and even His correction.

Register here by March 8 for the Spring Small Group Bible Study of Isaiah on Wednesday morning. Contact Lori Walle at 405-213-4725 or LWalleSL@aol.com with any questions.

CWBS (CENTER FOR WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDIES)

“A Study of 1 & 2 Peter and Jude”

CWBS is a Thursday morning small group women’s Bible study open to all ladies in the community who desire an in-depth study of God’s word. If you are looking for a welcoming, affirming place to dig into the Word with other women who desire a deeper relationship with God, we invite you to join us this fall for a study of 1 & 2 Peter and Jude. CWBS offers a wonderful combination of accountability, support, and fellowship.

This year we are going back to the Old Testament to study the life of David, along with Samuel and Saul, through the books of I and II Samuel. Each of these men was uniquely chosen by God. Chosen to play an important role in God’s study of redeeming His chosen people. Most of our study will center around the life of David, described in the Bible as a man after God’s own heart. High praise for a man whose heart struggled with doubt, fear, selfishness, sexual purity, and even premeditated murder. What lessons can we learn from David’s relationship with God? What hope does His story give us for finding forgiveness and redemption?

Meeting Times & Registration

Small groups meet weekly on Thursday mornings from 9:30 – 11:00 September to April. Childcare for infants through age five is provided during all of our CWBS studies and monthly luncheons. Please pre-register for childcare when you sign up for CWBS. Registration will begin in August.

Our study of Genesis will run from September 8-November 10 and resumes on January 12, with an extended break during the holiday season. This 21-week study concludes for the year on March 30. Study guides are $10 and may be purchased on the first day of class.

For more information, contact Diana Perkins at bperkokc@aol.com or 405-255-1900.
