The word “wow” means a variety of things to different people. It is an expression we use when we are delighted by an expected surprise. It is a word we use when we try to describe a beautiful sunset or a majestic mountain peak. I’m sure that you could add to this list with additional ways you use, “wow”.
At our church the word “WOW” is the name of our Women’s Ministry Bible Study program. The letters stand for, “Women of Worth”.
Every Wednesday morning over 100 women of all ages gather to study the Bible. In addition, classes are available in the evening for women who cannot attend in the day time. There are classes that study specific books of the Bible and there are classes on subjects that are specifically geared for women. Some of the studies being offered this fall include: Becoming the Woman of His Dreams; Choose Joy – Because Happiness Isn’t Enough; and A Study of the Book of Genesis.
Women of all ages participate in the WOW program. Some are new mothers. Others are empty-nesters. Some have a lot of background studying the Bible, and others are new to Bible study. Many of the women who attend WOW actually attend other churches in the community on Sundays.
This weekly program is available to women who want to deepen their knowledge of the Bible and strengthen their friendships with other women. WOW classes begin on Wed., Sept. 10, at 9 a.m. Child care is available for nursery and preschool children.
