The Elmbrook women's bi-weekly small groups will be using the following curriculum this ministry year:

When I Pray: September 11 - December 4, 2024

A Study of Six Prayers in the Bible by Kelly Minter, Jackie Hill Perry, Jen Wilkin, Jennifer Rothschild, Jada Edwards, and Kristi McLelland

Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray.

In this 7-session study, six beloved Bible teachers will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.

Luke – Gut-Level Compassion: January 8 - April 30, 2025

Lean in and linger in Jesus' embrace. Perfection is NOT required.

Many women believe that they aren't good enough to meet other people's expectations. Maybe you feel the same and can't wrap words around why. The great news woven throughout the Gospel, according to Luke, is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. Join Lisa Harper in this Bible study of a literary masterpiece that doesn't celebrate the elite, but embraces the outliers, outcasts, and overlooked!

Please purchase the study guides in the Elmbrook Bookstore prior to the beginning of each study.
