Mercy Street Women's Weekend
Mercy Street’s Women’s Weekend is back this year on May 3-4.
Did you know that humor is a fundamental, yet often overlooked, sub-theme in some passages of the Bible? As we read God’s word and listen to people’s stories… our emotions can span from deep sorrow, to gratitude and unexpected joy. Join us to learn new techniques to recharge our batteries and lift our spirits by reflecting on verses and stories through the lens of humor. Are you ready for an amazing adventure that will leave you feeling invigorated and equipped to deal with even life’s most difficult struggles?

Women's Book Study
“The Hidden Peace: Finding True Security, Strength, and Confidence Through Humility “ by Joel Muddamalle
• Overcome the fear of being "found out" or looking like a fraud by realizing God's intent for shortcomings and weaknesses.
• Walk through hurtful situations in the most God-honoring way by gaining a true understanding of biblical humility.
• Answer the question "why do bad things happen to good people?" by learning a perspective shift that will change how you process suffering.
• Know confidently that you're living with purpose and being used by God through seven ways to practically live like Him today.
• Be led by the biblical definition of self-awareness so you can experience the unexpected ways it brings safety and security to your life.
• Stop believing the lie that theology is out of touch or too difficult to comprehend as Joel shows you how to dig into scripture and study it yourself.
• Weakness is not your enemy. Planted in the soil of humility, weakness becomes a means to gaining more strength and more peace.
You are invited to be a part of a six-week video and paperback study either in person or from home.
