WELCOME TO WOMEN of FIRST
Titus 2:3-5
We are a group of R.E.A.L women that have a passion to build intentional connections with one another focused around our faith in Jesus Christ, and our desire to honor and serve Him with our whole lives. We know that relationship with one another is a vital part of living out our faith, so our desire is to create opportunities to be a R.E.A.L. woman fostering Relationship, Encouragement, Accountability, and Love!
We accomplish this by offering weekly Bible studies, events to deepen and grow in our faith and community with one another, and life-journey specific gatherings meant to encourage you where you are.
We're excited to do life together!

Mom to Mom
Moms of Diverse Backgrounds, Churches, & Communities
We are women of diverse backgrounds from many different churches and communities all over the Lodi area who have children of all ages (infancy through high school). Though at various stages of parenting, we share a common desire to grow as women and as mothers.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to educate, encourage, and equip women for the most important yet toughest job in all the world - parenting. Through practical, Biblically-based teaching on parenting and through supportive interaction in small groups led by experienced mentor moms who follow the Titus 2:4 model in the New Testament, we wish to foster growth, not only in our parenting skills, but in our wholeness as women - intellectually, relationally, and spiritually.
Titus 2:3-5
"Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God."

WEDNESDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY
Abide by Jen Wilkin | 9:30am in the Worship Center | Beginning Sept. 2nd
How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In this study of 1, 2, and 3 John, Jen Wilkin will help you discover how 2,000 years later, the apostle John's words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth. He reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it - and he reminds us as well.

WEDNESDAY EVENING BIBLE STUDY
Luke in the Land by Kristi McLelland | 6:15pm in the Worship Center | Beginning August 12th
In our Bibles, we have four Gospels describing Jesus’s time on earth: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The land of Israel—the place Jesus walked and taught during His earthly ministry—is often referred to as the “fifth Gospel.”
Join in as we journey through Israel and study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. This study challenges the way you read the accounts of Jesus and take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, you'll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everybody.
