The Wednesday morning Women’s Bible study meets in the church library from 9:30-11:30am. Please see below for information about their current study and contact Heidi Straub or Donna Schmitt for more information.

The Monday Evening Women’s Bible study will meet on Monday evenings at 6:30 pm at JoAnn Nelson's home unless otherwise indicated. They are studying Max Lucado's "He Chose the Nails" study. If you have questions or would like to participate, please call Kathy Graham.

About the study: In He Chose the Nails, Max Lucado observes that the last moments leading up to Jesus’ death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. God was never more sovereign than in the details of the death of his Son. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us...the cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn’t have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more.

Our Women’s Bible study meets on Wednesday mornings from 9:30-11:30am in the Church library. They are studying the book “When the People Pray” by Thom S. Rainer.

About the study: Pastors are often asked to lift others up to God. But who is interceding for them? Best-selling author Rainer offers 30 reflections and prayers meant to give church members a glimpse of the struggles most ministers are facing every day. This study will last 7 weeks and will conclude on May 15th. Please sign up at the Info Desk or call, text, or email Donna Schmitt, 763-227-3268, [email protected], if you would like a book.

Mission Links (Quilting Group)
Mission Links meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 10am. Contact Marilyn Lungstrom for more information.

The Mission Links group remains busy all year long, with one month off in the summer. The aim of Mission Links is to provide for the needy and they give to many missions locally as well. Last year's (2019) recipients included: Mary’s Place in Minneapolis (SharingandCaringHands.org); Global Health Ministries in Liberia, City Life Center in Minneapolis, Eagle’s Nest in Sauk Centre, Lake Beauty Auction (July) and County Social Services.

The group gets funds from the Community Closet for their supplies and much of the goods for their work comes from nice yarn, thread and material for quilts. They sell greeting cards and rugs for buying supplies also.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God...”
Romans 8:28 (KJV)

NL Covenant Women’s Titus 2 Partnerships “T2P”
The Vision:
To help partner women from our church family with one another (small groups of 2-3), with the intent to model the Biblical principles put forth in Titus 2:3-5, having younger women nurtured, mentored and blessed by relationships with women who have life experience and Godly wisdom to share with them. To encourage partnerships that would model Hebrews 10:24-25 between the generations of women in our church family.

These partnerships are encouraged to find frequent/common means of communications, monthly connections (lunch/coffee/prayer time) and continual source of encouragement, care and prayer.
Questions? Please contact Paula Holmen.

3 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. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 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. Titus 2:3-5 (NIV)

24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV)
