The vision of the Women's Ministry is to be a community of women who have opened their hearts to God and to each other. To be women who give themselves to becoming like Christ in serving the Body, expressing their spiritual gifts (in large and small ways), and extending themselves to the lost.

Facilitates God's work in the lives of the women of the church by providing a means through which they can grow spiritually and become equipped to serve Him. This ministry also functions to bring unity among the women in the Body through offering opportunities for fellowship.

This yearly event is offered to the women of Maple Ridge as a way to get away from the daily routine and have the opportunity to reconnect with the Lord and with each other. The weekend includes planned times of worship, Bible study, and interaction with other women in group settings. There is also ample time made for quiet reflection, fellowship and taking advantage of the beautiful setting for the retreat at Tecumseh Leadership Center. Mark your calendar to join us on April 24& 25, 2009 for a refreshing time together.

An ongoing ministry at Maple Ridge, this program is designed for women to develop a deeper more meaningful relationship with God and with another sister in Christ. Women who are paired up will meet regularly with one another for at least one year. Each relationship will have its own unique characteristics but teaching, modeling, prayer and God's Word are its common threads. If you desire to participate in this program either as a mentor or a mentoree, please contact the church office.

Hannah's Gift
This Bible study taught by Lydia Strong will look at the story of Hannah and how she asked for and received from God the gift of a son, Samuel. And even more, how the record of this woman's life and her personal relationship with God is a gift to us. Join in looking at how Hannah and others in scripture dealt with life issues including the popular culture of their day; shame and guilt; misunderstanding with authority figures; vows they made; and labels which other people attached to them. The study will be held on Thursdays, September 11 through November 20, 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Kids' Church Room. Sign up at the Welcome Center.

Captivating
At the same time that Hannah's Gift is being offered this fall, a select group of women will be joining Babby Porter as she leads them on a journey into the deep mysteries of the feminine soul in order to recapture the heart. Through teaching sessions lead by Stasi Eldridge, author of Captivating, small group times, and guided periods of reflection and journaling, these women will be invited to take the risk of coming alive as God's captivating woman.

Hearing God's Voice
Early in 2009 we will do a study on Hearing God's Voice. The Lord desires to speak to us personally. This study will guide us in learning how to tune our hearts to hear Him so we are drawn into a closer, more intimate relationship with Him that deepens our desire to serve Him faithfully.

Fellowship Times
Several opportunities will be available to get together to fellowship, eat, and share with one another. Mark your calendar now to come and enjoy time with other women and look for more information as the dates get closer. Plan to invite a friend!

Café Worship Night
"Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker."

Come and join us on Friday, February 20 at 7:00 p.m. as Ashley Brown leads in seeking our Father's face, in knowing of His love for us, and in giving Him the worship that is due Him.
