Ladies Brunch has been rescheduled

Due to the bad weather the Ladies Brunch (originally planned for tomorrow morning) has been rescheduled. It has been rescheduled to 4/18 (tentatively) but that has to be confirmed with the church office. A new post will be made to advise when the date is confirmed.

Hope everyone is snuggly warm and enjoying being "snowed" in.

NEW WOMEN'S MINISTRY TEAM

A few months ago several ladies went to Manhattan Christian College to their annual Women's Conference. A good time was had by all and Connie Thompson felt called by the Lord to minister to the women of NorthWest Christian Church by forming a ministry team to implement new events and studies for the women of our church. Connie recruited Tambra, Joyce and Annetta to work with her on this wonderful adventure.

It seems the Lord was already at work as Chelsea and Laurie Hemmen felt called to organize a Women's Brunch. Their hard work and the positive response from the ladies of the church have been a positive sign that God is at work.

On March 11th Connie held her first Women's Ministry Meeting and the team was joined by several interested ladies from the congregation. It seems that the majority of those at the meeting would like the NWCC Women's Ministry to have events that provide an environment of safety, encouragment, and love. There is a large interest in Small Groups, Bible Studies, Encouragment Groups, and Community Outreach Events.

We have three groups available this quarter:
  • Mavis Sack will be teaching a daytime Bible Study -details of that study and meeting time will be provided later.
  • Annetta McKain is hosting the "Caring and Sharing Dinner Club". We will meet at Annetta's home for dinner and fellowship. Each person should think of someone who they would like to encourage and bring a card to send to that person. We will pray for each of those people and then write a word of encouragement to each and put the cards out to mail.
  • Tambra Landis is leading an Event Planning group. This group will be planning 3 special events this year and will need a lot of help in organizing, setting up, cleaning up, etc.

If you would like to be a part of any of these groups please call and let us know. We would be thrilled to have you join us.

Mark your calendar now and look forward to a special evening on Friday, June 5th starting at 7 PM. There are also plans in the works for the next quarter's groups that will begin in June.

Please be in prayer for NorthWest Christian Church and all the ministries within the church.
