Women’s Bible Study At Center Barnstead Christian Church

 

Beginning April 16, Center Barnstead Christian Church will be offering a Women’s Bible study based upon Priscilla Shirer’s book, Resolution for Women. 

 

Priscilla Shirer calls her vocation Going Beyond Ministries: her goal is to help women go beyond the humdrum experience of “church as usual,” go beyond ecumenical divisions, and focus solely on the Gospel and what It brings into women’s lives today. The message that she wants to deliver caters to the feminine heart. The Gospel alone brings true freedom and empowerment. Through the Scriptures a woman can quit struggling to do things God never intended her to do and focus on her feminine gifts. Her gifts might mean a career, (the “Wife of Noble Character” mentioned in Proverbs 31, who “considers a field and buys it; planting a vineyard), or it may be the gifts of nurturing the family.

 

The Resolution for Women inspires women with intentional, scripture-filled living from three unique angles. Section one: “This Is Who I Am,” helps a woman define herself as “authentically me, purposefully feminine, surprisingly satisfied, and faithfully His.” Section two: “This Is What I Have,” invites her to value “my best, my blessing, my honor, and my heart.” And Section three, “This Is What Matters To Me,” focuses on joyfully honoring God as a wife, mother, and family member while resolving to live with the grace that leaves a godly legacy. The Resolution for Women is designed to inspire a revolution deep within the heart.

 

If you are ready to put some serious work into your relationship with God, join your neighbors at Center Barnstead Christian Church.  A weekly series of studies will begin Tuesday, April 16, from 8:30 to 10:00 AM and again at 7:00 PM.  As Spring blossoms, Now is time for all of us to prune the non-productive branches from our Lives and encourage new growth.  For more information please contact Center Barnstead Christian Church, 603-269-8831 The Center Barnstead Christian church is located on Route 126, next to the Town Hall.

Larry Berkson really need to be commended for his work, time, and knowledge; also, his use of references. THANK YOU so much Larry, without you doing this, all this area history would be lost forever.

GRANITE GIRLS STATE

        

The American Legion Auxiliary of Barnstead, Unit 42, would like to offer a unique opportunity for a high school girl, entering her senior year, who is interested in government, politics, and current events. This summer, girls from across New Hampshire will meet with local leaders and American Legion Auxiliary representatives for the 69th session of Granite Girls State. The program is a good opportunity for girls considering college and can teach them the skills necessary to take up leadership roles. For one week, they will learn about the inner workings of government, take part in mock elections, and sponsor and debate their own bills. The week starts out with a focus on local government, gradually branching out to explore party politics and our own state government. Through guest speakers and various programs, Girls State educates young women on the importance of good citizenship, enabling each girl to decide for herself what it means to be an American. Citizens of Girls State will have fun and build lasting friendships, and two girls will be chosen to represent New Hampshire at Girls Nation in Washington DC. In addition, worthwhile scholarships are available. The program will be held at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge from June 23-29th, and any interested families should contact the guidance department and/or Cindy at 776-3091.  More information can be found at www.alaforveterans.org and www.facebook.com/AmericanLegionAuxiliaryGirlsState
