Women's Ministry in January

Happy New Year to all!

I like to think of the New Year as an opportunity to start over. It is a time of renewal. The Webster Dictionary defines renewal as “to become restored or new again.” Let’s apply this definition to our PW Circles and to our activities and Gatherings. I don’t mean we have to necessarily spend more time or do more activities in PW, but rather to become “restored” in how we think of our roles in PW. Let’s take a “fresh” approach this year in our work with each other. PW women work hard in their different roles in our church, so let’s make PW be meaningful and supportive to each other.

Waiters at the annual PW Holiday High Tea

The annual Christmas High Tea was a big success. It was well attended and the waiters (men from our church) did an outstanding job. The tables were set by different ladies with their own dishes and decorations. There was entertainment and wonderful food and tea. Our thanks to Chairperson, Gail Bickel, and to Tina Trowbridge and the many volunteers for their hours of hard work. Note: There were a few spoons left over; if you are missing any silverware, they are in the kitchen, so see Tina. There will be a Coordinating Committee Meeting on Wednesday, January 7th at 9:00 am in Annex 2. All Officers, Coordinators and Circle Leaders are asked to attend.

COMING UP:

Wednesday, January 28th at 11:30 am—Chili Luncheon to honor men of the church. Men and Women of the church are invited. The program will be by Ruby McKinzie of Yarnell Community Church. It will be a presentation on her trip to Africa.

Friday, January 30th at 9:30 am-11:30 am—Church Women United Human Rights Celebration. I hope you will be able to attend this meeting being held in Swain Hall. Church Women United are women from churches in our area and we are happy to host this meeting.

I am looking forward to the coming year, our events and all God has in store for us.

Blessings to all,
