This morning in church Tristan challenged us to pray. He challenged us to look at each other during worship, to be communal. As a women's ministry leadership team, we have been listening to the comments of the surveys. We are taking what you are telling us to heart. It is our desire that we will be a community of women who are safe being ourselves.
So often in the past I thought that if I shared my true struggles women would look down on me or turn away. The reality has been just the opposite! In small groups and during one on one times I have shared the real stories of my life. We all have them. All of us are imperfect! We have all sinned and fallen short! If any thing else were true we would not need a Savior.
The freedom that comes from living life God's way is amazing!
Janessa Ferrell is planning a small group for women under 30 starting this fall. A couple of other women are talking about doing the study "Lies Women Believe". I, Ingrid DeJong, am going to be leading a group for Mom's with children under two years of age. Cathy Braxton would love to talk to you about what kind of small group you are looking to connect into. Amy Williams is going to be heading a Card Connection ministry for those creative types or those who would like to learn.
Maybe God is leading you to be there for some one who needs a women to be there for her and walk life as a spiritual friend... or you feel the need for some to walk along side of you right now... Talk to Jill Anderson, she is looking to set up a program to fit that need come fall.
Maybe right now it is enough to just come to the kick off and get to know the Women of Christ Community. You are welcome and bring a friend! We have a fun evening planned.
Please take our survey and let us know what your needs and desires are.
Blessings
Ingrid
