Fellowship Moms

Summer is right around the corner! I pray you will get some great time of rest away from your routine!

Our Fellowship Women will also take a break from our routine, but we do have a few things this summer to help you connect with other women, grow in your faith, and impact others for Christ.

Broken: An Evening With Ann Voskamp, Christa Wells, and Nicole Witt

Worship Center, Fellowship Bible Church

Friday, June 8th

7:00-9:00pm

$30 per ticket (see link below)

Come and spend a summer evening with writer Ann Voskamp (One Thousand Gifts), and singer/songwriters Christa Wells and Nicole Witt, as they speak and sing on what it is to live broken… to pick up the shattered pieces and still trust the Father, to experience His love remaking and making whole, to give in to a life of multiplied joy. Purchase your tickets at:  Broken.

Summer Book Club

Fellowship Women is once again offering a summer book club. This club is open to all women and will meet every other Tuesday evening at 7:00pm for discussion of one of the books listed below. Due to summer travel, each meeting can stand alone, and will be the discussion only of the book listed. Please join us as you are able, and bring a friend!

Please note, our June 26th meeting has a different schedule. It will begin at 6:30pm at the Belmont Mansion in Nashville. An RSVP is required for this meeting.

Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand: June 12th

• This book is a biography of the life of Louie Zamperini. His unbelievable life story of unending trial, tribulation, and survival is moving. It addresses issues of God’s sovereignty, protection, and forgiveness.

A Lasting Impression by Tamera Alexander: June 26th

• Author Tamera Alexander is a member of Fellowship and has written countless novels. This book is historical fiction based on the characters of the historic Belmont Mansion in Nashville. We will have the privilege of having Tamera lead our discussion on site at the Belmont Mansion in their Grand Salon. Following our discussion, we will be led on a private tour of the mansion. There is no charge for this evening, however, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you RSVP for this evening (aclagett@FellowshipNashville.org), so we will have enough tour guides on hand for the evening.

Pearls in the Sand by Tessa Afshar: July 10th

(THE KINDLE EDITION OF THIS ONE IS FREE TODAY**MAY 7*** ON AMAZON!)

• This book is based on the biblical account of Rahab. The beautiful and powerful storyline delves into her deep hurt and woundedness, as well as the incomparable redemption and restoration of our Loving God. For this book, please also read the biblical account of Rahab found in Joshua 2-6.

Expecting Adam by Martha Beck: July 24th

• This autobiographical story tells of the experiences of Martha Beck and her husband during the pregnancy and birth of their second child, Adam, who has Down’s Syndrome. It addresses the issues of the value of human life, and God’s perfect plan. Martha is not a Christian, but you will see the way the Lord woos her and provides for her in extraordinary ways.

Tears of Min Brock by J.E. Lowder: August 7th

• Author Jay Lowder is a member of Fellowship, and this is his first published novel. This fantasy paints a beautiful allegorical picture of our journey of faith. We will be privileged to have Jay with us to discuss his book.

Lending Library

Fellowship Women has a lending library of studies and books that you can use to host a study in your neighborhood, with your co-workers, or friends. If you are interested, please give us a call or stop by the Women’s Suite in the Concord House and see what’s available!

Anna Clagett

Director of Fellowship Women

WELCOME JENNY!

We are so excited to announce a new smiling face to Fellowship Women’s staff!  Jenny Watson will be filling a part time role as Women’s Coordinator.  She and her husband, Steve, have been members at Fellowship for many years, and you ladies especially might know her from when she taught a “PlayShop” for our staff women a couple of summers ago.

Jenny is a new empty nester and mother of four.  Her youngest is in college, and the older three are all gainfully employed, for which she is grateful! She is a gifted Bible teacher and mentor to women and moms in all seasons.  She is going to be an invaluable addition to our team!

Please welcome Jenny as you see her buzzing around campus!
