Women's Ministry

"And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God." Colossians 1:10

Women of Grace Following Hard After Christ... Bearing Fruit...

Bible Studies: We invite you to join a group of women for Bible study through the Fall, Winter, Spring and even in Summer! As new studies are sometimes offered after September, watch for announcments. Our desire is to encourage women toward personal and spirietual maturity through wise teaching and counsel from God's Work. The goal is to experience daily life change through knowing and following Christ. In a small group setting you will have an opportunity to share what you are learning and to learn from others.       Questions? Contact Becky Olsen (799-2001) or Della Loewen (283-0135)

Welcome Coffees: Welcome Coffees are held quarterly throughout the year for all new women attending Grace. They will be at the home of Stacie Lindell. We will be sure to let you know when the next Coffee will be held. Keep an eye out for the date and time in the Worship Folder!  Contact Stacie (283-0135) for more information.

Mom to Mom: Mom to Mom is a program based on the Titus 2:3-4 concept of older women teaching and encouraging younger women, especially moms of young children. It meets the first Wednesday of every month, October through May, from 9:00-11:00am in the Fireside Room at Grace. Our theme this year is ~ "Being a Mom...and Loving it; Finding Contentment in Real Life." Nursery/childcare provided, registration required. Contact Marilyn Reimer (283-8047) for more information.

Prayer Pearls

This prayer ministry encourages women to pray once a week for other women in Grace fellowship. Volunteers pray for 5-20 women. More pray-ers are always needed because the fellowship is growing so fast. If interested, contact Grace Klaassen (772-5518).
