The new year has almost arrived and we hope you are excited to lean into community and fellowship with other women from Ogletown! Winter book clubs for women begin the first week of January. The primary goal of book clubs is to offer a chance for women's to grow in community and relationships with one another. It's a chance to get ourselves into smaller groups with women of different ages and stages. This time we will be surrounding the topic of waiting as we read Waiting Isn’t a Waste by Mark Vrogrep. 

Here is a little bit about the book...Throughout our lives, we experience countless periods of waiting. Some moments are mere nuisances—others are daunting seasons filled with intense worry and doubt. We grow impatient by immovable traffic or crave an impending answer to a medical condition. Whatever our current circumstances, our innate response is to take action rather than stay still. In Waiting Isn’t a Waste, author Mark Vroegop calls believers to resist the human urge for control and lean on Christ for comfort while we wait for the uncertainties of life to unfold. Vroegop explores what it means to wait on God through 6 important characteristics of waiting - it's hard, common, biblical, slow, commanded, and relational. This book will not only challenge us to wait on God but inspires us to embrace waiting—for it prompts wisdom from God and brings invaluable peace to the present.
