Women's Ministry Wednesday - July 25

NEW THIS WEEK:

Clean Eating
Brandy Kisner, who is our Health & Wellness Coordinator, will be presenting a "Clean Eating" seminar on August 7th, at 6:30.  The cost is $25.00. The class is currently scheduled to meet in the SAC, but watch the bulletin and the WMW e-mails in case the location needs to change. There has already been a big response to this, so we are anticipating a full class.

WOW!
Our Woman of the Week this week used to be a Mobile Missionary. Can you guess who it is?  Find out this Friday at http://www.isbcwm.blogspot.com

Small Groups
Many of you are inquiring about Small Groups and what they are.  Our purpose in having these groups is to make a way for you to meet other ladies in the church, to make new friends, and find people you can connect with. Some of these groups will do Bible studies, others are Book Discussion Groups, and some are classes, but all are based on biblical principles and scripture. They are offered on different days and times during the week to accommodate various schedules. Since they are designated to be small groups, please sign-up for only one.  In January, we hope to offer many more. If you feel led to lead a group, please contact our Discipleship Coordinator, Susie Toomey at sktoomey@king.edu, or call her at 423-383-9314.

Here are the Small Groups that we are starting in August and September.  You can get more details on the blog at http://isbcwm.blogspot.com/2012/07/small-groups-beginning-in-august.html
Please sign-up at the WM table in the main lobby at Hill Rd, and in the hallway at Glenwood
