Women's Ministries

Years ago generations of women commonly worked side by side, helping and encouraging each other through the daily challenges. Today’s world is very different; traditional family support is not always available, our lives are fast paced, and today’s American woman copes with many demands. It becomes increasingly difficult for most women to enjoy nurturing, discipling relationships or to just have time to bask in the company of a friend. Women must look outside the home for multigenerational relationships that offer wisdom, encouragement, and fellowship. And what better place to look than the church? That’s what Women’s Ministries is all about. 

Warm Up America
   
You can make a difference to someone in need by crocheting or knitting one or more 7" by 9" afghan sections for Warm Up America! Anyone, any age, anywhere can contribute to this ministry. If you don’t know how to knit or crochet, what a great time to learn.
    The crocheted or knitted squares are joined to make a complete afghan that is then donated to people in need such as victims of natural disasters, battered women's shelters, the homeless, and hospice care centers.
    Warm Up America is a grass roots organization started by a yarn dealer that wanted to help the homeless. It has grown into a nationwide program that has produced more than 80,000 afghans. Now we have an opportunity to be a part of it.
If you need supplies (yarn, crochet hooks, knitting needles, or patterns) they will be provided for you. If you are interested in participating in this ministry please contact Joanne Read. Be sure to visit their website to learn more about this endeavor. www.warmupamerica.com

"Your plenty should supply their need, and then at some future date, their plenty may supply your need. In that way we share with each other." ~II Corinthians 8:4

“TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD.”  Psalm 34:8

WOMEN, DID WE SPARK YOUR INTEREST?  Below are the remaining details regarding our exciting new study opportunity.

Women’s Ministries is starting a Chocolate-themed Bible study series.  Every other month you will have an opportunity to study God’s word and fellowship with other women in a relaxed atmosphere.  This study is for women of ALL ages!  It is for those who have never studied the bible, yet packed with new insights for those who have studied for years.  This study encourages new friendships and allows women to discover how richly, extravagantly and surprisingly God indulges us with his Love and Grace.  A little “Taste” of chocolate has been added to each session to deepen and enrich your learning experience.

Here is a “taste” of what is to come:

v      September 8: Surprise!  God’s Grace is Surprising

v      November 10: Ooey, Gooey Grace – God’s Grace is Rich and Extravagant

v      January 12: The New You – God’s Grace is Transforming

v      March 9: Live Free!  God’s Grace is a Way of Life

v      May 11: An Overflowing Fountain – God’s Grace Overflows to Others

v      June 8: Party Time!  God’s Grace is Reason to Celebrate

The Bible Study will begin promptly at 6:30pm in Ghormley Hall and will end no later than 8:30pm.  Childcare is provided upon request.       

There is a sign-up sheet at the Information Desk.  Please sign up if you plan to attend and indicate if childcare is needed so that the appropriate arrangements can be made.

There is a book cost of $9 per person.  Books will be purchased prior to the first session.  Money needs to be turned in to Shelley Wynter, Marilyn Frantz, or Tammy Parker no later than August 24th.  Arrangements are available for any woman that wishes to attend and cannot afford the cost of the book, see Shelley Wynter for assistance.  PLEASE do not let the cost of the book keep you from attending this awesome study and fellowship opportunity. 

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!  Start planning now to come have fun and study God’s word together as women.
