Woven Season 5: Redeeming the Place of Work

11/09/2025 - 11/09/2025

Date: September 11 - December 11, 2025 (Every Thursday)
Time:
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Location: HSBC HQ and Zoom
Registration Deadline: 4 September 2025

As women in the workplace, we wrestle with many issues that make us feel off-balance a lot of the time.

  • Why am I so anxious/afraid? What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?
  • How do I walk the line between my Christian values of forgiveness and loving my enemies without being bullied and taken advantage of?
  • Is fighting back “Christian”?
  • Am I living in God’s plan for my life? How will I know?
  • Why do bad things happen to good people? Where is God in the hard?
  • Is there more to my work than making a living?

These questions and wrestlings are very real. But often, they feel like we are "re-arranging deckchairs on the Titanic". The question is not so much, "Are the deckchairs in the right order?" but more fundamentally, "Am I on the right vessel?"

So this coming season and year, we will address issues that will help us get on the right vessel!

Important Things To Note:

The first and last sessions will be a physical meet-up. The rest will be on Zoom.

This season, we will be in small groups again. As such, we hope you will only register if you can commit to show up for all sessions to the best of your ability. We want to show up not just for ourselves but for the others in the group and be a support to each other.

Registration will close on Wednesday, 4 Sep 2025 to give us time to register your name at our meeting location (requirement). Attendance of the Introduction session on the 11 Sep will ensure your registration for the rest of the season. See you there.
