Our Traveling Training was held Saturday with Beth and Carol leading our discussion. The ladies who attended can testify that GOD was glorified and we soaked up His presence in our worship, prayer and teaching. I can't begin to tell you all what an incredible blessing Beth and Carol were to our time!
One thing that God impressed upon me was His desire to call ALL women to Himself. In small groups we discussed the culture specific to the military. In teaching, Beth shared her experiences in groups with a foundation in many age groups, multiple ethnic backgrounds and a blend of ranks. Over and over, I heard the words that PWOC reaches women of many backgrounds.
Through it all, I felt God leading me to Galatians 3:26-28 which says, "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who are baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus."
What does this mean to PWOC?
It means that whether you are married or single, PWOC can be your source of fellowship.
Whether you are young or... mature, God has a Word for you in PWOC.
Whether you are a mother or a grandmother or a wife with no children, God wants to bless you through the ministry PWOC offers.
Whether you are active duty military or a dependent or a civilian, PWOC embraces you with compassion.
Whether you are hurting or burdened or fearful, God works through PWOC to offer strength and support - a lifeline in a troubled time.
Our oneness in Christ is what makes us sisters. And sister, I am already praying for you as you read this that you will know how much God cares for you.
Blessings to You, My Sister!

Fall Bible Studies Coming Soon
I know many of you are excited about the upcoming year. As I was praying for our ladies, I envisioned us waiting expectantly for an incredible ride. The anticipation filled the air and relationships grew as we talked about our hopes and desires for the future.
In this spirit, God has led us to some wonderful Bible studies to offer. Start praying now about which one God wants you to be involved in. There are many choices for our many women of all walks of life.
The Thursday morning group will meet at 9am for a short time of worship and fellowship. At 9:20 we will move into our small groups for study.
One group will be sharing Bad Girls of the Bible by Liz Curtis Higgs featuring fiction and Biblical selections about all kinds of women in scripture. The other small group will be studying the book of Hebrews in Holding Out for a Hero by our International conference speaker, Lisa Harper. Both small groups will end at 10:45 with more time for fellowship and prayer.
Our Thursday evening group will meet at 6:30pm each week except on Program nights. We will begin with a short time of fellowship and worship and break into small groups at 6:50.
Breaking Free by Beth Moore will delve into past pain and unhealthy habits that keep us from being free in Christ. We pray that you will find healing a peace as God restores you through this study.
The other small group will participate two short studies, each six weeks long allowing newcomers and busy women to find a place to experience PWOC. The first study will be Your Signature Fragrance by Christina Wood exploring our personal value as a woman in the body of Christ. In October, we will pick up The Esteemed Journey by Susan Andringa and discover our full worth in the journey God has set before us.
All of our studies this year will meet in the Religious Education building to accommodate multiple groups and children's activities. Books are provided free of charge, but donations are always welcome!

The Recipe Everyone Asks About
Well Ladies, You asked for it!
The Texas Caviar dip for tortilla chips goes like this:
Pour three cans of blackeyed peas and two cans of mild Rotel in a colander to drain. Pour into a large bowl with two chopped avocados, one chopped onion, one chopped bell pepper and one bottle of Wishbone House Italian dressing. Stir it up and serve. It keeps great in the refrigerator for a couple of days, too!
