PRAYER AND
PRAISE POINTS
Every other Wednesday evening the Elders meet for
several hours to pray for the body and seek wisdom as they strive to lead and

some of the pressing needs and prayer points that they are asking for you to
pray alongside them can be found [by clicking] here.

HOME
GROUPS
Here
at Big Woods, one of the ways we seek to keep our growing body small is through
home groups. Home groups are small groups of people meeting in homes,
encouraging one another in their walk with Christ by talking about the Bible
and praying for one another. This year, we are making an exciting change:
instead of meeting every week, home groups will meet every other week! We plan
to start meeting the week of September 12th. Please sign up [by clicking] here.
PRAYER GATHERING
Starting September 22nd, we will be having a Wednesday evening
prayer gathering. We will start at 6:30 and worship through song, have a
devotional, then spend time praying for the people and needs within our body!
At our first gathering, we will have a potluck from 5:30-6:30 to enjoy table
fellowship with one another first. This prayer gathering will be every other
Wednesday and will be one of the ways we can bear one another’s burdens as we
seek to faithfully follow Jesus together.
WOMEN’S BIBLE
STUDY FELLOWSHIP (BSF)
Starting on Tuesday, September 14, BSF will meet here at Big Woods
from 9:30-11:00 a.m. every Tuesday through May and will be studying the whole
book of Matthew. The discussion group
will be led by Kari Hensler. If you are unable
to make it at this time, another group will meet Tuesday evenings (starting
September 14) from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the Great Island church. That group will be led by Suzanne Camerer.
