IMITATE

REPLICATE

We are excited to share with you our new theme for 2017-2018: Imitate & Replicate. We chose these two key words because Mission Hills Church is all about Transforming Lives. Through discipleship, evangelism, and worship, we are committed to being women who love and follow Jesus and make disciples – disciples making disciples. We are thrilled to have you join us on the journey.

Our offerings this year include a wide assortment of Women’s Bible Studies, MOPS (Mothers of PreSchoolers), support groups, service opportunities, Girlfriend Clubs, and a special Christmas event featuring a nationally known author and speaker, Lisa Harper, worship led by Shannon Wexelberg, and an International Christmas Shoppe.

We enthusiastically invite you to be a part of Women’s Ministry at Mission Hills. It’s going to be a fabulous year!

WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDIES

BIBLE STUDIES

Our theme of Imitate and Replicate fits perfectly with our Women’s Bible Studies. These groups provide a place to grow in relationship with God, enjoy a small group setting, and make friends, as we are discipled. Our hope is that women will, in turn, become disciplers of women who God brings into their lives.

God’s word is relevant for our lives today. Our faith in trials is strengthened by time in the Word. Our hope is found, not in earthly things, but in Jesus alone. It is through the Word of God that our relationships are built. God is transforming us for His service and for His glory.

We have designed our studies to meet a wide variety of needs, offering daytime and evening studies. Our studies run during the school year, September through April. New women are encouraged to join anytime throughout the year, based on space availability.

Most groups are 15-18 women and all meet at the church. Each small group will have social activities, such as luncheons, and one service project during the year.

While some studies are year-long, others are a collection of several studies during the year. We encourage women to sign up for a group and stay with the same women throughout the year to build friendships and community.

Simplify the process by first choosing your level of intensity, then choose the day of the week that works best for your schedule. We believe that no matter where you are on your faith journey, each study will challenge you and help you fortify your faith.

Childcare is complimentary, by reservation, and is available on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings to enable moms with young children to get away and be encouraged in their faith journey.

We have a wonderful kids’ program, featuring Bible stories, crafts, snacks, and play time. Infant and toddler care is also available. Offerings are taken to help with our childcare cost. Please see the mid-week childcare guidelines at the end of this book for more information.

Starting Point is a conversational environment where women

can explore faith and experience community. The conversation guide provides us with thought-provoking discussion questions to explore key foundations of the Christian faith. Each week will focus on a different foundational principle of Christianity. We will have an opportunity to share from our own personal experiences, study associated Bible passages on the topic and look at tough questions for tension with the topic. Starting Point is for Seekers (those who are curious about God, Jesus, the Bible or Christianity; Starters (those who have just begun a relationship with Jesus Christ); and Returners (those who may have some church experience but have been away for a while.

ALL THINGS NEW, A STUDY OF 2 CORINTHIANS | Kelly MinterTuesdays, October 31 - November 14 & January 16- February 13 | 9:30 - 11:30 AMTuesdays, October 31 - November 14 & January 16 - February 13 | 7:00 - 8:45 PMThursdays, September 14 - November 2 | 9:30 - 11:30 AMIncludes DVD teaching.

The city of ancient Corinth was much like our own modern day cities – a melting pot of cultural experiences to be had, along with the pitfalls of spiritual depravity. Paul wrote to the church of God in Corinth, showing God’s church is meant to thrive in any city and every circumstance which we encounter. Paul’s letter is as timely as ever. Explore the anchoring truths of bearing treasures in jars of clay, meeting Christ, opening wide your heart in the midst of hurtful relationships, and learning what it means to embrace the lost and lonely as ministers of the new covenant. Because of Jesus the old has gone; the new has come.

GOSPEL OF MARK | Lisa HarperTuesdays, September 12 - October 24 | 9:30 - 11:30 AMTuesdays, September 12 - October 24 | 7:00 - 8:45 PMIncludes DVD teaching.

God’s heart is moved by your cries for help, your shouts for joy, and your unspoken worries. We know Him to be a God of unparalleled power and authority, but Mark’s account of Jesus paints Him as a deeply personal and intimate God too. In this study, you will follow Jesus through His days of early ministry all the way to the cross. It’s there you will discover what it means to be the recipients of His excessive compassion and the very reason for His all-consuming passion.

HEBREWS // The Nearness of King Jesus | Lisa HarperTuesdays, February 20 - April 17 | 7:00 - 8:45 PMIncludes DVD teaching.

The book of Hebrews highlights two contrasting realities; Jesus is supreme yet approachable. Without losing an ounce of depth, Lisa makes Hebrews accessible too. Jesus is an up-close Redeemer. This study will help you engage and treasure the Book of Hebrews as you draw near to the approachable Savior.

SHE READS TRUTH-PSALMS OF GRATITUDE

Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible WilliamsThursdays, November 9 – 16 | 9:30 - 11:30 AM

Prepare your heart for the Thanksgiving season in this two-session study of Psalms of Gratitude. Each day you will read a Psalm to focus your heart on the many blessings God has given you.

STEADFAST LOVE | Lauren ChandlerTuesdays, February 20 - April 17 | 9:30 - 11:30 AMThursdays, January 18 - March 1 | 9:30 - 11:30 AM

There are times when worship overflows effortlessly from a heart full of gratitude and praise. And there are times when God seems far and we feel we have nothing to offer. Throughout it all, God shows us His steadfast love. Lauren Chandler uses Psalm 107 to show us how to face each season of life with courage and trust in Jesus, and to discover how tests in your journey of faith reveal the true condition of your heart.

WHAT LOVE IS, THE LETTERS OF 1,2,3 JOHN | Kelly MinterThursdays, March 8 - May 3 | 9:30 - 11:30 AM

The Letters of 1,2,3 John define love in the person of Jesus and call us to love like He loved. John anchors us with truth in a culture that has lost its way. He separates light from darkness, offers community for loneliness, and rest for our striving. Throughout his letters, John gives us the ultimate gift of assurance: we can know that we know Jesus.

THE DANIEL PRAYER AND STUDY OF DANIEL

Anne Graham Lotz & and Joy of LivingThursdays, September 14 - November 16 January 18 - March 15 | 9:30 - 11:30 AMThursdays, September 14 - November 16January 18 - March 15 | 7:00 - 8:45 PM

THE DANIEL PRAYER // Prayer That Moves Heaven and Changes NationsAnne Graham Lotz, followed by Joy of Living Bible Studies, commentaries by Ray C. Stedman

Begin the year with the study by Anne Graham Lotz, a wonderful discovery of prayer that really works. What’s the secret to renewing your own relationship with God? It’s prayer. It is prayer that storms the gates of Heaven until things change. It is passionate, heartfelt, and it’s not letting go until you get an answer.

DANIEL, Joy of Living, rounds out the remainder of the school year with two parts: part one on Daniel’s life and part two on the prophecies of Daniel. Study questions and a written commentary make up this Bible study. DVDs for Anne Graham Lotz’ portion of the study.

DANIEL, LIVES OF INTEGRITY, WORDS OF PROPHECY | Beth MooreMondays, September 11 - December 11 & January 15 - March 26 | 6:30 - 8:30 PM(Class will continue with Finding I AM – April 9 - May 14)

Just as the prophet Daniel faced unbelievable pressure to compromise his faith in a hostile culture and was constantly confronted by temptations and threats, today’s believers face similar trials. The first six chapters of Daniel deals with his life as he faced challenges yet lived with integrity. The second half of the book explores thrilling prophecies from the time of Daniel through the second coming of Christ.This study is modified to spread from 11 sessions to a full year. Includes DVD teaching.

ENGAGING WITH GOD THROUGH PRAYER (Year-long study) | T.W. HuntTuesdays, September 12 - November 14 & January 16 - April 10 | 9:30 - 11:30 AM

Learn the secrets of intimacy with God. This study on prayer will teach you how to: develop a rich prayer life; discover the unique way God relates to you; give thanks and worship God; use Scripture in prayer and make decisions based on biblical principles; deal with unanswered prayer and hindrances to prayer; and continue growing fellowship with God. No matter where you are in your walk with God, you will develop a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him.

ENTRUSTED // A Study of 2 Timothy | Beth MooreTuesdays, September 12 - November 28 | 9:30 - 11:30 AMWednesdays, September 13 - November 29 | 6:30 - 8:15 PMThursdays, September 14 - November 30 | 9:30 - 11:30 AM

Final words can be compelling. In Paul’s final letter, he charged Timothy, his beloved son in the faith, to not be ashamed to fulfill God’s call on his life. This study will encourage you in the same way. God has a plan for you. He has entrusted you with the gospel message and has gifted you to carry it to the world. He’s calling you to be His mighty servant, willing to face whatever difficulty you encounter as you carry out His mission.Includes DVD teaching.

What is the deep cry of your heart? That ache in your soul that keeps you up at night? That prayer you keep repeating? Jesus not only cares about this deep spiritual wrestling, but He also wants to step in and see you through it. Join Lysa TerKeurst on the streets of Israel to explore the seven “I AM” statements of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. You will learn to trade feelings of emptiness and depletion for a more personal fulfillment from knowing who Jesus is; stop living like a slave to your circumstances by training your heart to embrace the life-giving freedom God wants for you; and gain a better understanding of how Jesus’ words 2,000 years ago are so applicable to the answers we are searching for today.

Peter, a man of faith and flaws and an eyewitness to the life of Christ, challenges us to look beyond our current circumstances to a future inheritance. In 1 Peter, he shares concerns about big picture issues for the early believers, reminding them of the living hope they have in Christ. Peter describes our true identity as believers and points us to humility and submission.Includes DVD teaching.

Dr. Luke continues from his gospel to his second account called Acts, or Acts of the Apostles, mostly Peter and Paul. From Christ’s ascension to the Father to the empowering of the Holy Spirit, see how the early believers took the gospel from Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and beyond. Watch the church grow spiritually, numerically, geographically, and culturally. From this example, learn how you can experience the power of God through salvation and apply it in your everyday life.

PRECEPT UPON PRECEPT - COLOSSIANS | Kay ArthurThursdays, February 15 - April 26 | 9:30-11:45 AM

What does it mean to be “complete in Christ”? Is Christ really your “all in all”? Does He meet all your needs? This small epistle written by Paul while he was in prison offers much on the supremacy of Christ, the sufficiency in Christ, and concludes with rich rules for holy living.

GLOBAL OUTREACHTRANSFORMING LIVES PERIOD.

One of our focus areas in outreach at Mission Hills Church is to help women in need. Women’s Ministry is excited to answer God’s call to do just that with exciting opportunities to minister around the world through short term mission trips.

Around the world, women have many things in common. Perhaps you’re not sure what you could offer; however, anyone can be used by God to minister to others. These short term trips will challenge and bless you, and you will return transformed in some way. Our God is a big God, and He does amazing work on each trip.

2018 will feature several women’s opportunities. Watch for details in the November Missions booklet.

GIRLFRIENDS CLUBS

GIRLFRIENDS CLUBSCOME CONNECT

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the day approaching. HEBREWS 10:24-25 (NIV)

Girlfriends Clubs are designed to help women of all ages connect with one another through interest-based groups called G-Clubs. Investing yourself and your time in one of these groups creates new friendships and strengthens existing ones. Each G-Club meets once a month for a time of fun and connecting with others. While having fun with the girls, each group also gives back to the community by choosing different service projects.

Stickers can be found at a table in the lobby of The Barn or at the Guest Service Desk in Sidewalk.
