girlfriends of grace

 

The Women's Ministry at Calvary Church exists to help women grow in their love for God and each other.  It is our heartfelt desire to help women of all ages connect with one another in various settings.


growth through study


Summer Book Club for women is offered June, July, August.  Read either a fiction or non-fiction selection each month and then meet for fellowship and discussion. See our Events Calendar below or contact Amy Kurt (548.7133 or ) for more information.

Seasonal Bible studies for women are offered at Calvary Church. Click on the link at the bottom of the page for a current calendar. For more information about Bible studies, contact Amy Kurt (548.7133 or ).


GROWTH THROUGH mentoring


"Teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live...then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure...so that no one will malign the word of God."  (Titus 2:3-5)

We understand the benefit of having another Christian woman walk beside you during some of the difficult times of life. Whether it be depression, marital tension, relationship conflict, or just the day-to-day struggles that women face, we want to encourage you in your journey.  If you want more information or you desire to be connected with a mentor, please contact Cindy Hamilton (219.465.1844 or ).


GROWTH THROUGH Service


'Sisters in (His) Service,' or 'SIS,' is one of the ways Calvary Church encourages and cares for its members as they experience a hospitalization, the death of a loved one, a wedding, or the birth of a baby.  This is done in very practical ways such as preparing a meal for someone in need.  If you have an interest in serving others and would like to be on the SIS team, please contact Mari Matthiesen (531.0099) or Lynn Fessant (462.7800 or ).

 

events


The annual Christmas Brunch is our largest event of the year. It is a time to connect with friends, make some new friends, laugh...and sometimes cry! For more information, see our Events Calendar or contact Robyn Walsworth ( or 219.465.6219). 

Girlfriends Night Out is offered the first Monday of each month and meets in various local restaurants. See our Events Calendar for times and locations or contact Cathy Bigger ( or 219.531.2025) for more information.

Women's Prayer - Join us weekly for a time of prayer and encouragement. Meetings are held Monday nights from 6:30p to 7:30p at various locations. Contact Sarah Pepper (708.846.9391 or ) for more information.

Girlfriends Oasis - A Quarterly event series designed to offer the women of Calvary refreshment in mind, body, and spirit. Oasis events include a short devotion, a service opportunity or a DIY activity, and unstructured time to chat with friends. Bring a craft/hobby project to keep your hands busy while you catch up with old friends and make new ones. See our Events Calendar or contact Maija Nack ( or 219.477.6540) for more information.

Retreats and Conferences - We encourage you to grab some friends, reserve a hotel, and register for a women's retreat or conference. It's a great way to get a break from the routine of life, have some time with friends, and even do some growing! For more information, see our Events Calendar or contact Robyn Walsworth ( or 219.465.6219).
