Ladies! We’ll be having our summer bible study on 7 Monday nights from 7-9pm at houseofchinn (Wendy Chinn’s house!)
The dates are as follows:
Jun 2, 9, 16, 23 & Jul 7, 14, 21
Jun 30 = off (4th of July week)
We’ll be doing the 7-week “Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent” study written by Beth Moore. This detailed study of Psalms 120-134 engages participants in unique opportunities for personal reflection and worship while exploring the background/writer of each.
Just as a song or poem can express feelings of fear, doubt, hope, and joy, these 15 psalms model how study participants can voice their own petitions and praises to our God, who is always available and ready to hear us. The study explores the background of each psalm and psalmist, the majority of which were written by David.
A typical week will look like this:
- 7:00 arrive & mingle over snacks
- 7:15 begin discussion (over homework, what we’re learning, and what’s going on in life)
- 7:50 prayer time
- 8:00 start video
- 9:00 finish
Books will likely cost $13 and checks can be made out to NLCF. If money is an issue, let Wendy know and we’ll work something out.
If you want more info, or are interested in joining and need directions, e-mail Wendy to get on the e-mail list.

The women of nlcf were blessed by times of praise and worship, times to meet and interact with other ladies, times of personal reflection and rest, as well as inspiring teachings from peers. The focus this year was on living IN love, which means not just loving God out of duty, but learning how to be in love with Him. We challenged ourselves to search out the love songs in His Word, to see Him as the master romancer, and to trust Him with all that we have.

Details: At the retreat, you’ll be blessed by times of praise and worship, times to meet and interact with other ladies, times of personal reflection and rest, as well as inspiring teachings from peers. The focus this year is on living IN love, which means not just loving God out of duty, but learning how to be in love with Him. We will challenge ourselves to search out the love songs in His Word, to see Him as the master romancer, and to trust Him with all that we have. By doing these things, we will take risks in ways we never have before and learn what it means to truly be in love with our Savior.

The 2007 Spring Women’s Retreat
We often hear of our spiritual walk being referred to as a journey, and we at times talk and learn about endurance and thriving on that journey. But how often do we stop and make sure we are prepared for that journey? None of us would go on a trip without packing our bags full of essentials, so why would we dream of embarking on our spiritual journey without the same attention?
