Bombarded by worldly messages to maximize your personal beauty and youth at any cost? Crippled by anxieties and fears? Join us to consider the source of all beauty, our great God, and how gazing upon His beauty is the true desire of our soul and the answer to quell all of our fears. Together we will enjoy a light breakfast, receive Bible teaching, and worship our beautiful God through song.

The Bible calls us to turn our eyes to Christ, allowing his presence to transform our lives. But amid our busy routines, constant distractions, and the pull of worldly temptations, it can be easy to lose sight of him. The Psalms offer a powerful and practical means of connecting with God. These ancient prayers and songs give voice to our emotions, allowing us to praise God for his grace and faithfulness, no matter our current circumstances.

This 8-week study explores 15 psalms, focusing on themes such as wisdom, thanksgiving, lament, and more. Our prayer is that by delving into the Psalms, we will come to know and love the Lord and His Word in new and deeper ways.

All women are invited to join us! We will meet together Wednesdays from 9:00-11:00a at CrossWay, and childcare is provided for ages 0-5. (Moms with kids in childcare are asked to serve one time.)

For those not able to attend on Wednesday mornings, we have two other ways to participate! You can join a Thursday evening group (available in Waukegan, Bristol, and Kenosha) OR you can participate virtually at your own pace.

If you have questions, you can visit us at the table in the lobby on Sunday mornings or email Kim Wendle at kim.wendle@cwc.church.

Moms of little ones, we invite you to a new playdate ministry aiming to give moms opportunities to cross paths with one another. There will be an open gym playtime for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers while moms connect. Moms can meet and deepen relationships with other moms, both those in a similar season of life and those further down the path of motherhood.

For more information, reach out to Jen Boucher by texting (262) 716-3939.

OCTOBER'S MEETINGS:
October 6

For over fifty years, Knowing God by J.I. Packer has helped Christians around the world discover the wonder, the glory, and the joy of knowing God. This timeless work invites readers to explore the profound joy of both knowing about God and knowing Him personally through a close relationship with Jesus Christ.

Drawing from Packer's rich theological insight, Knowing God blends deep spiritual truths with practical guidance, helping believers renew their understanding of God’s character and His faithful love. Named one of the top fifty books that have shaped evangelicals by Christianity Today, this inspiring resource bridges head knowledge and heartfelt devotion, making it a must-read for those yearning to deepen their spiritual walk.

Sign up to read the book on your own and then gather with a small group of women to share a meal (we each pitch in $5) and discuss the book together.

There's still time to register! Reach out to Kim Wendle at kim.wendle@cwc.church if you're interested.
