Advent by Candlelight: Follow the Star

Ladies, join author and speaker Donna Snow on Monday, December 7th, in Gloria Dei’s Life Center from 6:00-8:30pm for Advent by Candlelight - Follow the Star. It promises to be an amazing evening as we prepare our hearts for Advent and come together in faith, friendship, and fellowship.

Invite a girlfriend, sister, or neighbor and enjoy an evening with hors d'oeuvres from Robinette Catering, worship and music led by Audrey and Makayla, and a powerful conversation with Donna Snow. 


Women's Mini Retreats: Count Your Blessings & Stepping Out in Faith

Ladies, join us in Madisonville November 6-8 for a weekend of diving into prayer, Scripture, and counting our blessings. Register soon, spaces are filling up quickly. You can find the registration link here. 

If November is too busy, consider joining us at our favorite farmhouse in Navasota over the MLK Jr. holiday. We are going to gather January 16-18 for Stepping Out in Faith. If you are interested, message Lori Knutson so she can send you the registration link as soon as it is ready. 


Tuesday Evening Bible Study: The Busy Woman's Bible Study

Are you busy with work, family, and life, but you know you need something to help fill your well? Join us for the Busy Woman's Bible Study on the first and third Tuesday of each month. Come and join us in the Bride's Room from 6:00-7:00 pm for a short Bible study, discussion, and prayer. Each session will be a stand-alone study, and there is no homework and no pressure, just a group of women who crave Scripture, friendship, and the peace He gives us in a busy world. 

Ladies, grab another busy friend, neighbor, or mother and join us on the first and third Tuesday for the Busy Woman's Bible Study. You get to dive into Scripture and fill your well, and we get the blessing of your presence and conversation. Contact Lori with any questions.

Be Encouraged!

Text Message of Encouragement

Lord, thank you for being there when I fall to my knees and the words will not come. Thank you for hearing the groanings of my heart and providing me with your peace and hope. Lord, thank you for holding me in your arms when I feel broken, hurt, and lost. I praise you, even in the valley, because I know you are good and your promises are always true.  

Want to discover more? We live in a broken world, and sometimes we feel cracked and broken. Those are the times we need to curl up with our Bible and seek Him in prayer and Scripture. Consider starting with John 14:27, Philippians 4:7, Psalm 29:11, and Romans 15:13.

Serve Others!

Opportunities to Serve

Each woman has a unique set of talents, spiritual gifts, and experiences. Consider using yours to step up, jump in, and serve others. At Gloria Dei, we have so many opportunities to serve on-site, in the community, and even globally. 

Take a few moments to look at the opportunities on our Missions and Serving pages and then reach out using the links and forms on each page to get involved. We look forward to working alongside you to serve others!

Find Your Place!

Discover Your Gifts, Passion, and Story

Psalm 139 reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. God has uniquely shaped you with gifts, passions, experiences, and a story; and He can use all of it to grow you, bless others, and make a Kingdom impact. Have you ever wondered where God might be calling you to serve? The GPS Assessment can help you better understand how God has wired you and identify meaningful ways to use your gifts at Gloria Dei. 

Visit the Disciples Made site, create your account, and complete the GPS Assessment. We look forward to helping you discover your place and take your next step!
