Ladies Bible Study
REGISTER ONLINE HERE
“Sharing Our Stories: Reflections from the Psalms,” this 5-week Bible study will be offered on Sundays at 5:00 PM and Thursdays at 9:30 AM and 6:45 PM begininng February 12 & 15.

The book of Psalms, 150 Spirit-inspired prayers and praises, express emotions of the human heart in relation to God.  During class, we will connect with God and others as we share our testimonies of faith – how specific Psalms have brought encouragement and strength to our journeys through life’s joys, sorrows, decisions, and doubts.

Our format for this class includes table talk, class discussion, and personal testimonies.  We will also explore the history and major themes of Psalms such as wisdom, lament, thanksgiving, and praise.

Our Bible study workbook, “Turn Your Eyes,” authored by Gospel Coalition writers, is available for purchase within the registration module. ($12) It is also available in eBook form through online retailers.

Childcare will be provided for children age 3 and under for the Thursday morning session only.  Contact Jeanne Harvey at praiseladies@praisecathedral.org for more information.

2026 Ladies Retreat
REGISTER ONLINE HERE
Join us for the 2026 Ladies Retreat, “You & Me, Jesus” at The Cove in Asheville, NC. 

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” James 3:17 (NIV)

Spending time discerning the Lord’s wisdom from the noise of “good things” all around us – Information fatigue is a real thing and as women of God we need to know how to tune out the ungodly counsel and replace good with God’s BEST for our individual lives. His ways are higher than we can understand and leaning on information is the desire to understand and not to live trusting the heart of God.  My life must be lived in tandem with God’s heart and led by the Spirit.
It’s you and me, Jesus!
