"Back to School" with Grace Women
The end of summer and beginning of a whole new season!
Some of us aren’t going back to school or sending kids to school.
Some of us are and we have mixed emotions about it.
Some of us are transitioning to new seasons in glorious and exciting ways.
Some of us aren’t. We’re filled with dread.
Some of us are holding holy expectancy about what God may be up to.
Some of us are wondering if He’ll ever move on our behalf again.
We are each carrying unique stuff+things into the last half of this year and it can be a sturdy thing to remind ourselves what is true.
“We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). He doesn’t say “all things work together and feel good” or “all things work out the way we want” — which reminds us that all the things we carry are being worked and woven into a completely other, HOLY good that God is authoring in our lives.
Whatever you are bringing into the latter half of the year, remember with us that not only is the Lord near to the broken hearted, but He blesses His people with peace! He draws near! He sings over us! The Lord is good and He is trustworthy. Call on Him, sisters. He answers. 🫶🏽
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS:
A Monday morning women’s Bible study offering at Grace still has openings, if that’s your jam! (Our on-campus classes often fill QUICKLY due to limited space, so keep your eyes on the main social pages (Grace IG and Grace FB), as well as check this course offerings page frequently!)
If you are looking for an easy way to incorporate prayer into your morning routines, may we suggest this little guide?
Speaking of routines, if you need to hype up your workout, we’ve got you covered. Several friends of Grace Women helped us build this workout playlist full of songs that glorify Jesus, to get you hyped up and moving!
Our fall gathering is officially on the calendar! This will be our third immersive night of prayer and worship, featuring hands-on, embodied invitations to praying, worshiping, adoring Jesus, and engaging the scriptures. Mark your calendar for Monday night, September 30! Doors will open at 5:30 and the gathering runs from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. You’ll be the first to get additional details and our registration link when it’s live!
📝 JUST FOR FUN POLL
Last month we asked how summer plans were playing out for all — and what a variety of responses we got! LOVED seeing this diversity.

We’re so grateful for shared life in Christ and look forward to worshipping with you in person next month!
💻 PS: If you haven’t checked out the super-fresh new Grace Bible website — go do it! You might be especially interested in finding the “easter egg” that links to a raffle where you can win a new Grace hat of your choice! HINT: you’re not looking for a word, you’re looking for an image that feels…slightly out of place. 😉
