New Class Forming: Becoming a Godly Woman

27 Sep

🌸 Becoming a Godly Woman | Small-Group Study

What does it mean to become a godly woman—not just on the outside, but from the inside out?

Becoming a Godly Woman is a small-group course designed to help you grow in your relationship with God by exploring the deeper patterns that shape our thoughts, emotions, and reactions.

Together, we’ll look beyond surface behaviors and discover how God meets us in our struggles, heals our hearts, and transforms us from the inside out. Through conversation, reflection, and faith-filled community, we’ll explore what it means to grow closer to God and allow Him to shape our lives.

📅 Small-Group Details

Fridays, October 2–November 13
10:00–11:45 a.m.

📖 Handbook: $30
💗 Scholarships are available.

If you’d like to learn more or register, please contact the Pender United Methodist Church office.

Come as you are. Bring your questions, your experiences, and your desire to grow. There is room for you in this journey. ❤️
