Masks & Social Distancing: We want to do all that we can to protect everyone that attends anything on the Hawthorne Gospel Church campus as well as show love and concern for each other. Therefore, all attendees at each of our women’s Bible Studies must wear face coverings at all times except where doing so would inhibit the individual’s health. The teacher of the study is also exempt from her mask while she is teaching.
We will also be observing social distancing by asking everyone to remain six feet apart from others at all times. Thank you for your help with this!

TIMELY LESSONS FROM A TIMELESS BOOK: ISAIAH
A study of the book of Isaiah provides practical insight into God's plan and purpose for all people. As we study this book, we will discover that human nature has not changed from the beginning of time, and NEITHER HAS GOD! We will grasp the awesome beauty of a relationship with a holy, righteous, and loving God. At the heart of the book of Isaiah, we find the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ.
There is a workbook available for this study

Winter semester begins Tuesday, January 19, and the class will be studying the book of Joshua and using Kelly Minter's study called "Finding God Faithful"
In the midst of hardship, tragedy, and unanswered questions, it’s difficult to glimpse God at work. How do we hold onto our faith during these times? How do we trust God is working all things for our good and His glory?
Over 8 sessions, trace the path of Joseph’s life in the Book of Genesis to observe how God’s sovereignty reigns, even in our darkest moments. Learn to recognize when God is working during periods of waiting, trust God’s plan when life doesn’t make sense, and rest in the sufficiency of His presence in every circumstance. His provision is enough, His presence is constant, and His purpose is unstoppable.

Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho.
And Elijah—calling down fire on Mount Carmel.
Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget they each had a backstory—months and years of development, even difficulty, which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable.

Winter semester begins on, Thursday, January 21 st and the class will be studying Jennifer Rothschild’s study Take Courage. Do you ever feel like the happy ending of your story is a million miles away? Then you know how the Jewish people felt when they returned to their wrecked land after exile and began rebuilding the temple. They were distracted, discouraged, and ready to throw in the towel. But the prophet Haggai reminded them they could find courage in the God who had never left them. Sometimes the landscapes of our lives feel wrecked, with our hope and purpose in shambles. We too get distracted and discouraged. However, God’s presence and promises give us the courage to press on and trust Him with our story.
In this 7-session study on the Book of Haggai, learn to walk confidently in your calling, stay motivated despite opposition, and courageously invest your life in God’s purposes, trusting Him for results you may never see in this lifetime.
