Molly’s Life Group

Our group is starting the book “When You Pray” in January.  We want to pray more, listen more, and be obedient to what God is telling us.  The book has 7 chapters so it will take us 7 months to complete it.  For each chapter, there are 5 days of reading to do.  You have a whole month to get the reading done so it’s easy.  At our meetings, we gather in my great room to visit, pray, watch the video that goes with the chapter, and discuss it.   No pressure to talk at our meetings.  You can totally just sit and listen.  And, if you’re not a reader don’t let that stop you from joining our group.  We’d still love to have you and you can just watch the video with us.  We all take turns bringing a dessert to be enjoyed by all after the meeting.  That always seems to happen in the kitchen.  The link to purchase the book is below.

Our Sisterhood Era

Hello ladies, prepare to be in your SISTERHOOD ERA!!! Being a young woman in this era (high school & college) is a challenge that should not be faced alone! I will be leading the high school/ early college Sisterhood life group. My goal for this group is for young women to develop a strong relationship with Jesus. Discuss topics like: body image, anxiety, and sisterhood just to name a few 😉. Sisterhood might sound familiar, right? First Church for the past couple years has hosted Sisterhood events in order to bring women of the community together and hear a biblical message that pertains to their life! My wish is that many young women will walk away with lasting friendships built on the foundation of Jesus!

What to expect:

1. We will meet in the Hebron Generations Room (the room with the big window and tv in it!) ✨

2. Chat for a few minutes (ice breakers)🫶🏻

3. ✨WORSHIP MUSIC✨

4. Watch an episode of the Strong Roots Podcast!!! (How FUN?!)💕

5. Have a guided discussion regarding the topic discussed in the Podcast!🤩

(I would also like to have certain days that we watch a “Right Now” video, and have a “special guest” talk with you guys and have them give their testimony! I think it is so important and convicting to hear other people’s testimonies!)😌💕

✨I hope you’re as excited about this group as I am! The definition of “sisterhood” is as follows: a relationship between sisters, or a community of women linked by a common interest. Our interest: “Jesus” . I want this group to be a ✨SISTERHOOD✨, not just because that is our title. I want you to get more than just deep discussions out of this group, but find a community where you can lean on Jesus together now and lead others in the future to Jesus!

Best,

Kaitlyn💕
