Kairos Women

• Where: Cafe Moka, 5705 Lynnhaven Parkway, 108, Virginia Beach, VA
• Leaders: Hillary Snyder and Kenna Cribb

We are single young women, ages ranging from 18 through 20′s, who love to laugh, have fun, and support each other.  We choose our studies to reflect our life and what it brings.  Through fellowship, prayer, worship, Bible study, and discussion, we hope to learn and grow together.  We desire to build meaningful, honest relationships as we support and encourage one another.

Women’s Fitness Group

• When: Saturdays, 9:30 am
• Where: Propel Room (upstairs)
• Facilitator: Rebecca Neeley

Many diet experts agree that developing self-control is a key part of weight loss and weight management.  But the Bible says that believers develop self-control only when Christ is at the center of their lives.  The secret to self-control is giving up control to God!  Through this new 12 week Bible study, First Place 4 Health members will learn how to let go of their frantic need to control their circumstances, which often leads to stress induced, out of control eating.  They will also take positive steps toward letting God take over management of their mind, emotions, body, and spirit.  As Christ moves into first place, life moves into balance.

Thursday Ladies Connection

• When: Thursdays, 10am
• Where: Conference Room
• Facilitator: Sarah Harrison

Our focus for the group is to equip women, mostly in their 20′s and 30′s, to walk in the freedom and destiny that God has for their lives.  It will be a time of Bible study, prayer, and deep connection.  Life long friendships are formed here!

Wednesday Night Ladies Group

• When: Wednesday evenings, 7-8:20pm
• Where: Conference Room
• Facilitators: Heather Rego and Kelly Neklason

You’re invited to join us each Wednesday evening, 7:00-8:20pm, as we study the Word, fellowship, and pray for one another.   We hope you can join us!

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

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!

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
