WOMEN'S RETREAT
Saturday, September 19 | 9 am to 4:30 pm | Optional Dinner & Activities to Follow
Join us at the home of one of our Cokesbury women in Lenoir City for a day of connection, worship, and encouragement. We'll start with a continental breakfast at 9:00 am, followed by our first session at 9:30. Anna Lee will be our speaker, with Terrie Winkle leading worship. All meals and snacks are included throughout the day.
Stick around after 4:30 for dinner and fun activities — totally optional, but a great way to keep the day going!
Cost: $30 to help cover expenses. If that's a hardship, please reach out to Jill at jstuckey@cokesbury.tv — we don't want cost to keep anyone away.
Once you register, you'll receive a confirmation email with more details and the full schedule for the day.

Very Good
Whether you've spent years wrestling with questions of identity or you're just beginning to explore them, there's a place for you here. This study, based on Jen Oshman's Very Good, dives into what Scripture says about our identity—offering clarity, encouragement, and a firm foundation for understanding who you are as God created you to be. This is a traditional book study with weekly homework.
I Said This, You Heard That
If you’ve ever thought, “they just aren’t hearing me,” there’s a place for you here. Join us as we work through Kathleen Edelman's I Said This, You Heard That, exploring how our personalities shape the way we communicate—and how understanding those differences can lead to deeper, healthier relationships at home and beyond. This is a traditional book study with weekly homework.
Luke in the Land
Whether you've studied the Gospels for years or are diving in for the first time, there's a place for you here. This class walks through Kristi McLelland's Luke in the Land, combining video teaching with group discussion to bring the Gospel of Luke to life through the lens of Middle Eastern culture and the land where it all took place. This study will not require a book or homework.
How to Read the Bible
Whether you've read Scripture your whole life or aren't sure where to start, there's a place for you here. This class walks through David Platt's How to Read the Bible, offering practical tools to help you study Scripture with clarity and confidence—and grow in your understanding of God's Word. This study will not require a book or homework.
