As we step into the beauty of February, Psalm 118:24 reminds us, 'This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.' With snowflakes that gently fell, big and small, we'll cherish every moment of winter's delight and bask in the sunshine's warmth, knowing it's a gift.
We will not meet this Wednesday and
We will pick back up next week with Lesson 19:
Songs of Zion.

This past Saturday, our leadership team from Crystal Coast CBS gathered together to spend time and rest in our Lord's provision. Our theme was 'Hand in Hand with God.' We found our firm foundation in the building blocks of faith, the reality of lament in our lives, and the strength that comes from hope in Him. “Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.” Psalm 73:23 ESV

A Morning of Christmas Cheer. As we convened on a winter Wednesday morning, warm breakfast casseroles and freshly baked treats reminded us to prioritize Jesus' birth as the true essence of Christmas. We were encouraged to cultivate joy and gratitude during these busy times. “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”‭‭Psalm‬ ‭100‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬ 🎄

🎄Merry Christmas! From our community of women and children who gather weekly to study Scripture, build relationships, and reflect God's love.🌟

🌿 Tuesday Prayer Focus: Our Core Leaders & Substitute Core Leaders

This week, we want to take a moment to lift up our incredible Core Leaders and Substitute Core Leaders — the women who faithfully shepherd, encourage, and guide the ladies in their groups each week. Their hearts for connection and discipleship shine through as they prepare, listen, and pour into others with love and grace.

Leading a group takes time, prayer, and compassion — and these women quietly do all three, week after week. Let’s surround them with gratitude and prayer today, asking God to refresh their spirits and remind them that their labor is never in vain. 💛

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.”
Hebrews 10:24 (ESV)

Lord,

We thank You for the women who lead our core groups — for their steady hearts, their listening ears, and their willingness to walk beside others in faith. Strengthen them when they grow weary, fill them with Your peace when they feel stretched thin, and remind them that every word of encouragement and every act of love sows eternal fruit. May they feel Your presence in every conversation and Your joy in every gathering.
Bless their homes, their families, and their time with You this week.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

🌿 Wrap-Up Reflection

Yesterday Cathy reminded us that God doesn’t hand us a map for life — He gives us a compass. A map would let us plan every turn and lean on our own understanding, but a compass draws us back to Him for direction, one step at a time.

Her words were a beautiful reminder that faith isn’t about having all the details — it’s about trusting the One who does. And as we choose obedience, even when we can’t see the whole path, we find that His faithfulness meets us there. He doesn’t just point the way — He walks it with us, proving again and again that His guidance never fails.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105

We also want to give a HUGE THANKS to all the lovely ladies who have served as Love Ladies so far this year! The next generation is such an important part of God's Kingdom and by serving the children, you are being the hands and feet of Jesus! Thank you!

🌿 Tuesday Prayer Focus 🌿

Today, let’s lift up our Children’s Teachers in prayer.
They give so much of themselves—time, energy, patience, creativity, and love—to guide and nurture the next generation. Their faithful service is a gift to both our children and our community. We are deeply grateful for the way they pour into young hearts each week.

📖 “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11

🙏 Prayer:
Lord, we thank You for the children’s teachers who so faithfully serve. We ask that You would renew their strength daily, fill them with joy and creativity, and protect their health and well-being. May they feel encouraged and supported as they pour into the lives of our children. Remind them that their labor is not in vain, and that every seed they plant will bear fruit in Your time. Bless their families, give them rest when they are weary, and surround them with Your peace. Amen.

💙 Join us this week in honoring and praying for these incredible servants who are shaping the hearts and minds of the next generation.

Monday Focus: Peace

Peace isn’t just the absence of conflict—it’s the stillness of heart that God places within us, even when the world around us feels like it’s spinning out of control. Like a river that continues to flow steadily despite rocks and bends in its path, the peace of Christ runs deeper than circumstances.

It’s a fruit of the Spirit that grows when we release control and trust Him. His peace guards our hearts when anxiety threatens to overwhelm us, and it reminds us that even in chaos, He is unshaken.

🌿 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” — Isaiah 26:3

🌿 “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” — Colossians 3:15

As we step into a new week, may we picture God’s peace as an anchor in stormy seas, a blanket of stillness over our restless thoughts, and a river of calm flowing steadily within us.
