Let's Get and Stay Connected!
"Women Reaching Women” is the heart of LifeSpring Women.
We are dedicated to reach and disciple women, support and encourage them, as they grow and live out their Christian faith. It’s a fun and safe place where women come together to grow closer to God and to care for each other.
Our desire is to BEFRIEND women, so they feel like they truly BELONG, help them grow strong in their BELIEF in God and in his word, so they BECOME everything God has created her to be.
Ongoing opportunities are provided to women to get into the word of God, to apply it to their lives and to share it with others.

The Spice
Happy February! Download this month's issue HERE.
Many of us associate this month with hearts, chocolates, flowers, cards and love. Unmet expectations can bring us down when we take our eyes off the lover of our souls who says to us “You are loved—deeply, truly, always.” Take His hand, trust His heart and believe that the love we’ve been searching for all our lives is the love we’ve already found. Embrace Him!

Bible Studies
New Year, New Bible Study: The Book of James (Beth Moore)
James, Jesus’ own brother, started out as a skeptic. See how one glimpse of the resurrected Savior turned an unbeliever into a disciple.
Bible scholars compare James to the prophet Amos. In other ways James more closely resembles the Book of Proverbs than any New Testament book. Topics in this study include: joy, hardship, faith, reversal of fortunes for rich and poor, wisdom, gifts from above, single-mindedness, the dangers of the tongue, humility, and prayer.
Take a peek at the information and questions for this study HERE.
All Women are Welcome! Studies begin in January and offered 4 different times during the week. It will be a combination of DVD sessions and weekly homework. All groups will meet at the church. We hope one of the below options will fit your schedule:
- Monday 9:00 a.m.
- Thursday 9:15 a.m.
- Thursday 7:00 p.m.
- Sunday 8:45 a.m.
If want more information or interested in becoming a facilitator, please contact Linda Kalmes at (970) 493-0381.
