Ladies' Summer Book Clubs

Starting in June, we are excited to offer another round of women's book clubs for members, guests and friends of Sovereign Grace Church Woodstock.  All ladies ( single and married) are invited to participate in various homes throughout the church.  Our goal is to increase our passion for the Savior while enhancing our friendships with one another.  In order to provide the most fitting titles, we have compiled a list of options.  Take a look and let us know which books interest you most, so that we can establish groups, days of the weeks, and meeting times based on these needs.

Ladies' Clothing & Accessory Swap

All right, gals, spring is a great time to clean out those closets, drawers and wardrobes. Remember that adorable pair of shoes you couldn't resist buying but have only worn twice? How about that dress your friend convinced you to buy that simply isn’t “you”? Bring your unused or gently used items and exchange them for something NEW TO YOU.

Sunday, April 22

6:30-8:30

The King’s Academy Gym

In between swap sessions, we have some fun ideas

for fellowship and snacks that you won’t want to miss!

Okay…so, what do I do?

· Select five (5) nearly new items to swap. Items may include jewelry, scarves, shoes, purses, or clothing.

· Make sure clothing is freshly laundered and placed on hangers.

· Bring items to church that Sunday morning OR by 6:15 for set up.

· Be ready for some fast-paced fun and surprises!

Spring Classes

Spring Classes-2012

Gospel-centered  Marriage  by Tim Chester

Teacher-Gary Whalen                                                           

     Gospel centered marriage is a practical guide to Christian marriage that focuses on how the gospel shapes the everyday realities of married life.  It lifts the lid on many of the common pressure points that modern couples face, and shows how a proper understanding of the gospel leads to a fruitful, faithful and fulfilling relationship.

Marks of the Messenger by Mack Stiles

Teacher-Mark Pfaller

     Evangelism is not rooted in a method but in something much deeper. It is found in what makes us whole and healthy messengers of God’s truth about Jesus.  Mack Stiles shows how the gospel changes all of who we are and what we do.  It means not just going through the motions of accepted behaviors.  It means showing the unity of witness and justice.  It means love.  It means community.

What Every Man Wishes His Father Had Told Him by Byron Forrest Yawn

Teacher-Keith Lancaster

What does real manhood look like?  Society can’t make up its mind about what makes the ideal man.  Be tougher, say some.  Be more sensitive, say others.  And the expectations keep changing.  It doesn’t help that church plays right along. 

     Where can we get a clear understanding of manhood-one that’s free of cultural baggage, that’s actually satisfying?

     The answer is Jesus Christ.  In Him we find manhood perfectly portrayed.  We find real solutions for our every challenge as men.  And we find what every dad should tell his son.

Systematic Theology 2 by Wayne Grudem

Teacher-Brian Schlosser

If one of God’s attributes is independence from mankind then why did He create us?  How should the fact that we were created in the image of God influence our attitudes and actions towards the environment?  Is God displeased only when unbelievers sin or does he also have a response when Christians sin?  If someone asked you to explain how Jesus could be both God and man at the same time what would you say?  These are just some of the questions we’ll consider in Systematic Theology 2, Wayne Grudem's DVD series based on his book, Bible Doctrine.  During this course we’ll study the topics of God, Man, Sin and Christ.  Each session will include viewing Dr Grudem’s teaching on DVD and then a live discussion among class members.
