Study: The Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny.
But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.
The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.

WHAT: Heart-to-Heart Mentoring
WHEN: Meets regularly according to individuals schedules
WHO: 18+ women who are interested in growing spiritually as they walk through life with another woman.
Life can pull us in many directions. Based on the Titus 2:3-5 model, mentors are women who can come alongside and help us navigate the ups and downs of our lives, encouraging us to grow spiritually. These heart-to-heart relationships are designed to encourage an authentic and transparent connection that helps us grow closer to Christ. Contact Jennifer if you would like to be mentored or to be a mentor.

WHEN: Third Wednesday of the month at 10 - Noon
Does not meet during December
WHERE: Northgate Church, Quilting Room
WHO: Women who love to sew and bless others
If you love quilting and love to touch lives for Christ this is the group for you. The quilters come together for fellowship, to teach quilting classes and to make quilts for those in need.
This group started in 2010 as a way to gather women from Northgate and the community who are interested in quilting as a ministry. The quilts serve as a reminder to those who receive them that they are loved and cared for by God. Quilts have been given to many people here in Pittsburgh, to a hospital and orphanage in Haiti, to a church in Houston, TX after a hurricane and to the community of Clay, WV. To find out the next meeting, contact Joanne or Peggy.

WHAT: Women’s Book Club
WHEN: Every Other Month on Mondays as Scheduled Throughout the Year.
WHERE: Online Zoom Book Talk Option (from your home) and In-Person Book Talk Option, Fellowship Hall, Northgate Church
WHO: Women, 18-years old+
The Women’s Book Club (WBC) facilitates the reading and discussion of edifying books among women. Every other month, a memorable, quality book that will enrich the lives of women and encourage them in their Christian walk is chosen and promoted for independent reading. Afterwards, women are invited to enjoy fellowship around the book through participation in either a facilitated online Zoom book talk or a facilitated in-person book talk.
Our titles include classics and lifelong favorites of believers that are not to be missed! All of our titles will contain timeless lessons from which all can benefit. We want to introduce women to their next treasured book!

Study: Bible Basics
It's a marvelous story as it unfolds. It's Adam's story. It's Noah's story. It's Israel's story. It's our story. But, most of all, it's God's story. It's the opening of His book, the explanation of His character, and the record of His mighty deeds among men from the beginning of time.

Study: The Book of Romans
Paul’s letter to the Romans sounds many minor notes (which does not mean they are insignificant) but every note serves to create the symphony revealing God’s righteousness brought to bear in history through the saving work of Jesus. The major theme throughout this masterpiece is the powerful message of the cross of Christ, where God’s wrath for sin and mercy on sinners finds its fulfillment and unity.
