Women’s Bible Study

Tuesdays, February 10–March 17, 2026 // 9:30-11:30 AM or 6:30-8:00 PM

CGNE women are invited to join us starting Tuesday, February 10 for our next Women's Bible Study session. We'll use the book and video series Cling: A Lifestyle of Intimacy with God by Kim Cash Tate as the basis for our discussions. Feel free to invite a friend!

Here is a bit about the study from her website:

By God's design, the desire to be wanted and loved runs deep inside everyone He created. In an engaging and down-to-earth way, author Kim Cash Tate encourages you to satisfy that desire by living in the fullness of God's love. Cling shares wisdom from biblical examples and the author's personal experiences to help you cultivate an ongoing closeness with the Lord through prayer and Bible study. Discover how to have an intimacy with God that will sustain you through the imperfect, the disappointing, and the trying times of life.

When:

Each Tuesday, for 6 weeks, starting February 10.
There will be both a morning and evening session:
9:30-11:30 AM or 6:30-8:00 PM

Where:

We will meet at the church and childcare is available if needed. Please register by Feb 3 for childcare.

Materials:

Books can be ordered online at Amazon, as well as other places around the web.
