Women’s Life Group Mondays!

• When: Mondays, 6:30-8:30 pm, starting 1/9
• Where: Conference Room
• Facilitators: Andrea Perez and Becky Watt

Becky and I are excited about Beth Moore’s brand new study entitled “James:Mercy Triumphs”. Bible scholars compare James to the prophet Amos. In other ways James more closely resembles the Book of Proverbs than any New Testament book. Let’s come along with Beth Moore on a journey to get to know both the man and the Book of James.Topics in this study include: joy, hardship, faith, reversal of fortunes for rich and poor, wisdom, gifts from above, single-mindedness, the dangers of the tongue, humility, and prayer. Plus, Beth introduces a 5-tiered study approach that she has never done before.We will be meeting Monday nights (starting 1/9) in the conference room 6:30 – 8:30pm. This study requires a study guide/workbook,with daily homework assignments that we will discuss the following week. You can purchase your workbooks at Lifeway. I encourage you all to pray about joining us and committing to this 8 week life-altering study and fellowship time. We value and appreciate each and everyone of you, and so look forward to a new year of all God has in store for us.

Women’s Christmas Gathering! – Update!

Greenbrier Church Women’s Christmas Gathering

Saturday, December 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Brew Ranch, 2133 Johnstown Road, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Ladies, take a break from the holiday busyness – Join us for a festive, casual (continental) breakfast, warm holiday beverages, and great fellowship! If you have not yet responded via evite, feel free to respond to this email to RSVP!

We’ll be exchanging “white elephant” gifts at our gathering this Saturday morning. Please bring a wrapped item you currently own and think another Greenbrier sister would enjoy. Think along the lines of a book you’ve enjoyed but no longer want to keep, a scarf you no longer wear, a decorative item…anything that would make a nice “recycled” present to share.

In addition, we’ll enjoy a yummy continental breakfast – please sign up (via email or evite) to bring one of the following “finger food” breakfast items to share:

• Pastry/Sweets
• Muffins/Bagels
• Fruit
• Croissant/Biscuit Sandwiches (egg, cheese, meat)

Coffee, Tea and Juice will also be provided.

We look forward to an encouraging time of fellowship and reflection with other sisters in Christ during the busy holiday season!

Hope to see you there!

Third Annual “Night IN Bethlehem”

We’re counting down the days until the Third Annual “Night in Bethlehem” to be held at Greenbrier Church on Saturday, December 10, and Sunday, December 11 from 6-8PM. Come and experience what life might have been like in the hustling, bustling Bethlehem Marketplace. Also experience the peace that only the true reason for Christmas can offer.

If you are interested in helping present this experience to our community, please contact Sheri Gaughan at sherigaughan@greenbrierchurch.com or call the church office at 819-1070.

Let’s Help our women as they head for Nepal!

Dear Greenbrier Women,As most of you know, the Greenbrier Women’s Ministry is gearing up to launch our very own Women’s Mission team to Nepal in November.  While in Nepal, they will have the opportunity to connect with Nepali women rescued from human trafficking.  While they don’t want their focus to be on material things, they do find that meeting a specific need helps with building relationships.  By providing hygiene products for hundreds of Nepali women you are helping to expand God’s Kingdom through practical means.  We are asking you to help us help them!  If you are able, please make an effort to fill a Zip lock bag with these travel/hotel sizes of:

 shampoo, conditioner, soap, and/or lotions

It is not necessary to have all of the items, any amount will help.  You might be surprised to see how many of these are just sitting in your bathroom closet going unused!  These items will be collected on an ongoing basis until the team leaves in mid November.  Feel free to bring them to our church office for collection.

For more information, please contact Melanie Bedogne. 

“So Long Insecurity” – Wednesday Women’s Life Group

We all have insecurities.  They piggyback on the vulnerability inherent in our humanity.  The question is whether or not our insecurities are substantial to hurt, limit, or even distract us from profound effectiveness or fulfillment of purpose.  Are they cheating us of the powerful and abundant life Jesus flagrantly promised?  The enemy of your soul has a tremendous amount to gain if you don’t deal with your insecurities.  Don’t let him have that kind of victory.

Starting Wednesday, 11/9, you are invited to join me as we seek healing from God for our insecurities and become the secure, confident women we were intended to be!

• Meeting Day: Wednesday, starting 11/9
• Time: 7:00 pm
• Location: Greenbrier Church Conference Room
• Childcare: yes
• Facilitator: Shawna Ruane
