Women's Small Group
Begins tonight at 7 p.m.
God designed each one of us to keep growing socially, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. He wants us to constantly be developing our passion, our purpose, and our potential.
The Growth Conversation Series curriculum was created to be an intentional conversation starter and guide to biblical truth. Designed for women, we tackle conversations about how to strengthen ourselves and continue to grow in our leadership journey.
Join us for this six-week study! We will meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month. Study guide not required to attend.

Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is busy making prayer shawls to share with anyone in our congregation, friends or family. They are free and are located in boxes in both hallways across from sanctuary doors. We encourage you to share “a hug,” and let the recipient know that Ashland Church cares and we are praying for them.

Judges: Following the death of Joshua, Israel fell in to a 350-year Dark Age. Greg Goss and John Tait teach this class in the chapel, studying the Old Testament book of Judges. See how God led his people through this Dark Age using these fascinating leaders.
