S
heridan’s Women’s Ministries Team is dedicated to nurturing each woman’s relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through spiritual growth, service and fellowship. The goal is to encourage women to become involved in faith formation that allows women to understand their calling to know Jesus, love God and others, share your faith with family and friends and care for each other.Sheridan’s women’s activities are designed to Encourage the hearts and minds of women to know, love and serve God.
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.Hebrews 10: 24-25

Women’s Faith Formation & Events
New Women’s Study: Living Love When We Disagree
Wednesdays at 6:30pm OR Thursdays at 9:30am
begins Sept. 11 OR Sept. 12
How can we work out our differences and disagreements in a loving way while still remaining true to what we believe? In this six week Bible study we’ll explore Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians to discover how we as Christians are to deal with conflict and divisions – whether in the workplace, home school, neighborhood, social media, community or church. We’ll discover how to handle our differences with humility and grace always showing the radical love of Jesus Christ, and we’ll find encouragement and practical help for walking this out in our daily lives. Workbooks are available in OneSent for $12 + tax.
