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

• Time: 7:00pm-8:20 (approx)
• Where: Greenbrier Church conference room
• Facilitators: Heather Rego and Kelly Neklason

Monday Ladies Life group to start 9/12

Dear Ladies,

We are so looking forward to getting back to our Monday evenings with you all! We are especially excited about this new series by Beth  Moore called “The Inheritance”.  It will consist of nine sessions,all exploring the topic of our Inheritance throughout Gods Word.

Our first meeting will be Monday Sept 12th from 6:30-8pm-and will run through Monday Nov.7.
As in  past series we’ve done,there will be a 30 minute dvd to watch followed by discussion and prayer. Unlike past series, there is no workbook, but each participant will be required to purchase a five dollar listening guide that will be available at our first meeting. So there is no homework! (but I am pretty sure Becky will come up with a thought provoking assignment for us to ponder for the following week:)

We encourage you to come and join us! lets discover together that:
“The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places:indeed,I have a beautiful inheritance” psalm 16:5-6.
Looking forward to seeing you all!

Love
Andrea and Becky
