From Us to You
On behalf of the Advisory Board and the Women's Ministries Board, we want to welcome you to the Women's Ministries of Central Church. Our theme this year is "A Disciple Puts Feet to Her Faith!" Our heart's longing is to minister to the needs of those in our church and community. We also desire to reach every woman for Christ and to see her become a fully devoted disciple of the Lord Jesus. We seek to grow in Christ, develop authentic friendships, and connect women to areas of service. Please look through this brochure and find an area or areas of ministry in which you can serve the Lord with us. Then click here to register for a Circle that best fits you so we may talk to you about serving with us. In Christ,

Bible studies
Precept Bible Study Begins January 14th at 9:30am /6:30pm, Study of Obadiah/Joel, followed by Amos study
Obadiah and Joel prophesied about the judgment of all the nations in the coming day of the Lord. Edom was singled out by Obadiah because of how they treated Israel. Who would be spared? What would happen to Edom? Or to you? In these last days, as we wait for the Day of the Lord, we should remember that God is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. He calls people to return to Him with their whole heart. Spare Your people, O Lord.
As the Lord prophesied warnings about coming judgment through a shepherd named Amos, He can also send forth His Word through you to save others from coming judgment. Study how people can be prepared to meet their God, and your heart can be stirred to proclaim the warning with hope for those who heed it.
Thursday Morning/Evening Bible Study- begins January 14th at 9:30/6:30.
Discover the parallels of the Tabernacle's building and your life as a chosen vessel of God. Taped in Beth Moore's home church in Houston, this updated edition of A Woman's Heart reflects not only the original study, but all that God has done in Beth's life in the past decade. Regardless of whether you studied Beth's first study with LifeWay years ago - or are experiencing it for the first time - you'll find this study well worth the journey.
Mom2Mom Bible Study begins Wednesday, January 13th 9:30am, Conversation Peace
Here's a women's study that really hits home. Mary Kassian masterfully presents the biblical principles to help women revolutionize their speech habits and improve their relationships by focusing on ways to positively avoid sharing gossip, throwing negative barbs, or snapping sarcastic replies throughout everyday life.
Disciple Me- Wednesday evening and Thursday morning discipleship study will begin 1/13, 6:30 pm and 1/14, 9:30am.
Books 1, 2, and 3 of the Navigator series Design for Discipleship will be available.

Mentoring and Discipleship Ministry
If you feel God's nudge to be a mentor and share in another woman's life by using what God has done in your life to encourage and assist her in the glorious walk of a Christian woman...
or
If you are a woman who has been feeling the need to talk to another Christian woman who has "been in your shoes" and with God's help made it through and who wants to support and encourage you as a mentee at this time in your Christian life...
Please call women's ministries at 901-255-8113.
Mentoring and Discipleship Mission Statement:
Mentoring may encompass discipleship, encouragement, and accountability, both spiritually and practically for the Christian woman. A mentoring relationship that encompasses discipleship is the process by which a Christian woman commits herself for an extended length of time to disciple an individual who has been won to Christ. Discipleship will be a vital part of the Women Mentoring Women relationships at Central Church.
The purpose of this relationship is to guide others to continually seek God through Prayer, the study of His Word, and by the leadership of the Holy Spirit to apply His precepts in their daily walk as they develop a servant's heart.
