If you would like more information on the Women's Ministries or how to be involved, please contact any of the following women: Deb Olson, Jean Storer, Carolyn Posey, or Priscilla Durham.

PRAYER & ENCOURAGEMENT REQUEST BOX
Remember the locked box on the women's ministry table is one good avenue for your communication with us. At any time we welcome prayer concerns or other needs you wish to share with the ministry team. Whether you are walking through a difficult struggle, needing comfort and encouragement, or desiring help with spiritual growth, women are available to come alongside you. Mentor pairing for discipleship is also available on an ongoing basis.
If you desire to be contacted, please indicate that on the card and someone will contact you. All requests will be kept confidential.
BIBLE STUDIES:
The women's Tuesday night Bible study will be starting a new study on April 27 that will run through the end of July. We meet every other Tuesday night. Sign up at the Women's Ministry table now, before the deadline on April 11. We will be going through "Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed: A Story of David." There are three segments to this study that "focuses on the life of David at a different stage of his life: as a young man (sessions one and two by Priscilla Shirer), as a middle-aged man (sessions three and four by Beth Moore), and as a man facing the final third of his life (sessions five and six by Kay Arthur)." If you have any questions, please contact Sandy Van Gerpen. Contact the church office for more information.
EVENTS
No upcoming events at this time.
The following links are from Laurita's messages at the Spring Workshop, "Rain on Me, Reign over Me" held in 2009:
Older women are to be reverent in their behavior…that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be dishonored.
Titus 2:3-5
If you are a woman who has expressed the need to have a closer relationship with another Christian woman, the Titus 2 Women Mentoring Ministry is just for you. Titus 2 WMM is designed for two women to meet together to share their Christian walk.
This past year, seven pairs of women were involved in such a relationship. Some women completed a Bible study or discussed a Christian book. Others met for coffee and prayer as they held each other accountable to following God’s Word. Some women even just baked cookies together. None of these women were experts on walking the Christian life, but all women grew in the Lord as they developed a closer connection with Him and with each other.
A mentoring relationship is flexible and able to meet each woman’s specific needs and schedule. If you would like to be matched into a mentoring relationship, or if you would like more information about the Titus 2 Women Mentoring Ministry, please call the church for more information.
