A diversity of ministries encourages women to know God’s Word so that it permeates every day life affecting a deeply personal response in both attitude and action.

The women’s ministry offers quarterly brunches providing opportunities for fellowship and instruction on spiritual and homemaking topics; annual workshops highlighting a hands-on learning environment facilitated by a handful of teachers that guide the learning experience; and women’s retreats and conferences featuring a nationally known, keynote speaker.

New Format
Women's Weekend
Held February 22nd and 23rd, 2008
Christian women who long to know the lord and live joyful lives in His presence must interact intimately with His written Word.  But how?  How does God use His Word in our lives to cause us to change – to be conformed to His image?  These questions and others will be the focus of our 2008 workshop.  Lori Degner will teach us a method for study that He has used greatly in her life.  We will have opportunities to practice and apply this method throughout the workshop.  Other teachers include Kristi Gant, Christie Raymond, and Carol Barber.  The new Friday evening and Saturday format offers women the benefits of a retreat atmosphere along with the study and application of a workshop.

Women of the Word
September - April

Starts January 9th, 2008 at Omaha Bible Church
Wednesday 9:00am—11:00am
This winter, we will begin a study titled "Hope in God".  Have you ever hoped that life would change or get better?  Have you prayed, asking God to make it so?  And then, if it perhaps did not get better, or it improved only temporarily, has your hope been shipwrecked?  If so, then you are not hoping in God.. you are hoping in changed circumstances. Join us as we look to increase our hope in God by learning who He is, learning of others in the Word who have learned to hope in God, and learning to take our thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ.  This "Hope in God" study aims to equip us with a biblical perspective for understanding, overcoming, and preventing depression.

Women of the Word encourages women to study God’s Word daily by offering group Bible study, praise, prayer, small-group interaction, and weekly study questions that help stimulate and encourage learning and application.
*Childcare is provided. There is also a "Kid’s Club" program for children ages 3 to K.
A Homeschool study hall will also be available.  Questions? Contact the church office.

Starts January 16th, 2008 at Sue Hronek's home
Tuesday 7:00pm—9:00pm
This study is identical to the Wednesday morning women’s study. It allows women with a schedule more conducive to an evening study the opportunity to also enjoy the benefits of a group bible study.
* Childcare is provided.

Starts February 7th, 2008 at The Settle Inn in Bellevue (Cornhusker and Kennedy Frwy)
Thursday 9:00—11:00am
This winter, the Bellevue Women's Bible Study will continue their study of the book of Joshua.  If you have not been a part of the study to this point, you are still welcome to join them as they see God's mighty character revealed through His Word!
Lunches together begin in January (contact Kelly Lyle for details).
This study offers an application-focused Bible series separate from Wednesday and Tuesday. Located in the conference room at the Settle Inn in Bellevue, this Bible study helps women to explore biblical principles for daily living and apply those principles to life.
*Sorry, no childcare provided.

Living Joyfully with the Master in Light of Titus 2

Titus 2:3-5 says, “Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.”

This Titus 2 ministry will be carried out in a series of four seminars, each offered several times.  Each seminar will be a casual event held in someone’s home or at OBC and consist of a time of biblical teaching, question and answer, social time and end with a time of interactive, hands-on practical application.  Be looking for additional information to come in the mail and by email.  Questions?  Call Michele Kennedy
