Ladies:
Do you feel you are at a standstill in your relationship to Christ? Is Christianity, as you know it, not working for you? Is something missing?
Are you hungering for more in your relationship to God, but not sure what that looks like or even
If its possible?
Some Christian women today are struggling in bad marriages, have troubled children, are overwhelmed with past failures, have intense personal struggles and are filled with doubts and confusion about their spiritual lives. Some words that describe them are exhausted, burned-out, overwhelmed, defeated, depressed, ashamed, emotionally unstable, angry frustrated, discouraged, uptight, insecure, lonely and fearful.
What if I told you that instead of being miserable, frustrated and in bondage to worries, doubts, and fears you could be free, gracious, loving confident, contented, stable, joyous, peaceful and radiant?
The answer is found in a "GROWING" relationship with Jesus Christ.
If you can relate to any of this, please consider joining the Ladies Oaks Class on Tuesday evenings. Even if you can't relate to the above and are just looking for
something new this is the class for you.
Feel free to drop in on any given week...you'll be glad you did!!
Class 7:30-9:00PM.
SO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?
OAKS LADIES MINISTRY (based on Isaiah 61:1-3)
1. For women of all ages and backgrounds.
2. Meets at Media Mennonite Church Tuesdays; doors open at 7 pm for fellowship, class begins at 7:30 pm. Primarily a teaching group.
3. This is not a small group, but a fellowship of women hearing God's liberating truth, and supporting one another in prayer and fellowship.
4. We usually do Book study from the Bible, or a Christian book study. Sometimes we divide into groups for times of prayer and share but only as they desire. You are encouraged to bring women who are dealing with hurts of the heart.
5. Ladies are free to ask questions and join in on the discussion at hand. We all can learn from each other. But no one is ever forced to read, pray or communicate in any way if not comfortable with it.
6. The purpose of our Group: The Oaks are generally a group of women who have not grown up in or stayed committed to the church. These women need to know that they are loved and cared about and welcome in our fellowship.

2013: A New Year a New Beginning
2013: A New Year a New Beginning
As I begin to think about the New Year, I do wonder what God has in store for us? So many things are happening around the world, that cause much concern. As inflation rises, and people are unemployed, as I hear in the news about random shootings targeted at young and innocent people, my heart cries out why Lord why? Why must it be this way?
I often say if it wasn't for my faith in God who is good, and all powerful and all knowing and everywhere present, who has a plan and a purpose in all things, I think I would crumble under the weight of it all. Life is not easy, but God says in His Word "Come to me all ye who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. (Matt. 11:28) He also says, "I have told you these things so that you may have peace... in this world you will have trouble, but take heart I have overcome the world" (John 16:33) So we are warned of days like these and what we must do.
The promises in God's Word (the Bible) bring me so much comfort. If ever there was a time when we need the peace of God it is now. When things are happening that are evil, and ugly I know that God's Word stands true and that God will take what our enemy (satan) means for bad and make something good out of it even if I do not understand the why's or the how's and this gives me a peace that the world does not understand.
It is so important for women and men to come together and study God's Word, to encourage
and build one another up in the faith and pray so that when trials come, we will stand firm, united in Christ. God promises in His word that He will always be with us. Through the good times and through the bad. God has created us with freedom of choice. The choices we make have consequences but God offers forgiveness and a new beginning through Jesus Christ to anyone who will accept it. We must learn together how to respond to the problems we face in a way that pleases God so that we will have the blessing of God on our lives. Does this sound appealing to you?
If so won't you consider attending the Oaks Ladies Ministry class that is held every Tuesday evening, at 7:30PM at Media Church in Oxford. Women from all walks of life, come together to learn about Christ, His plans, His purposes for His church and for all people. What does it mean to be a Christian? What is it that we are called to do? In what manner should we be doing it?
We will begin a new study on 1 Corinthians on January 8th. This class is timely for the church today, both to instruct and to inspire. We are still powerfully influenced by our cultural environment, and most of the questions and problems that confronted the church at Corinth, and the problems in the world, are still very much with us. Problems like immaturity, instability, divisions, jealousy, and envy, lawsuits, marital difficulties, sexual immorality and misuse of spiritual gifts. The church has a message that will change the world, so when the church is not functioning properly, the world will suffer the consequences.
So if all this sounds interesting to you, please come check us out. No fees or registration or commitment required. Join us weekly or just come when you can. Bring a friend along. (If you have a spouse, or male friend, that would like to join you, there is a mens group that meets weekly on tuesday evenings in another part of the church.) Hope to see you soon!
