One of the beautiful facets of life in Austria is walking through the vineyards, especially in late summer and fall, when lush clusters of grapes await the harvest. In John 15 Jesus described Himself as the Vine, and He said, “You are the branches.” A branch that is not attached to the vine will produce no fruit, and will soon wither.  Jesus promised that if we stay connected to Him, we would experience an “abundant harvest,” and our lives would be characterized by greater joy. The Bible tells us how we can get connected to Christ, and how we can deepen our relationship with Him.  When we read and study God’s Word, we will discover truths that can change our lives.  We invite you to take advantage of opportunities at the Chapel to connect you to Christ, the true Vine.

“Connection”

Would you like to deepen your relationship with God?  He has provided a way for us to do that.  Just as we get to know a new friend by spending time together and talking, so we can get to know God in a deeper  way talk with Him and spend time in His book, the Bible, and have more communication with Him. If you would like to learn more about the Bible, to grow in your faith and to connect with other women, we invite you to join us in the women's Bible studies of the Chapel. 

Throughout the year we organise a variety of events for women to get together, enjoy themselves over dinner, dessert or snacks (yes, we like to eat!!!) and go deeper in the word of God.

Twice a year we organise what we call THE MOMS' FORUM.

Moms’ Forum

Motherhood presents itself with many challenges and questions. The Moms’ Forum offers a relaxed setting in which mothers can question more experienced moms on topics of childrearing. Topics include  'Five love languages of children,` `Teaching your children about Christ in every day life’ and 'How to survice the teenage years' and others. For more information on this event, contact Jutta Devenish at eventsicv@gmail.com

Ladies’ Spring Retreat

Join us for this year's Ladies' Retreat with speaker Dr. Kathleen Nielson. The topic this year is: 'Pictures from the Gospel of John'.

One of the highlights of the year is our ladies’ spring retreat, a weekend of spiritual refreshment and encouragement.  The speaker for the 2009 was Debby Jones, Bible teacher and author of “Lady in Waiting.”  Her topic: “Pearls of Great Worth.”  The speaker for the previous year was Cynthia Heald, author of the book ''Becoming a Woman of Freedom''. The retreat programs includes personal stories, great music, and fun activities.  This getaway is also a great opportunity to make new friends.  Please contact Sandy Shaffer at Shaffer24@aol.com for more information.
