Letter from the Chair

Bobette Scheid, Mercer Island Covenant Church

Greetings-

“You were taught with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires to be made new in the attitude of your minds and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness” Ephesians 4:22-24

As we kick off the New Year, what are some of your plans? Have you thought about how you can continue to grow in your love, serve one another and reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ? Here’s my challenge to you this New Year:  be a part of your church mission. But think of yourselves as being on a mission for Christ, not as someone doing a task. Praying for your mission of ministering to women with other women will help you focus on your role as a missionary as opposed to one who completes tasks.

There are some exciting things happening in Women Ministries this year. Here are a few of them:

April 27 & 28 is the Annual Connection for Women Ministries in conjunction with the Annual Meeting. It’s at Bethany Covenant Church in Mt Vernon WA.   We have two breakout sessions on Friday, one for women who want to know “Why Do We Need a Women Ministries?” and the other is a popular personality identity class called “Ennagrams”.

On Sat we are very excited to have Dana Marshall as our guest speaker at the 8am breakfast at Bethany Covenant.   I know she would love for us to know her as Dana Marshall and I would too just being married but I knew her as my son’s very, very favorite youth pastor Dana Sylvester. This is someone for all ages to enjoy! Dana is energetic, uplifting, and a great joy to be around. We are lucky to get her to speak to us.

If you are interested in either of these events see “The Hot Sheet” list to the right.
For information contact Bobette Scheid at 206-232-9854.

We have been able to again save the last weekend of September 28-30 for our Annual Women’s Retreat at Cascades Camp in Yelm WA. We will have additional information on April 28th, but we do know that our speaker is Meagan Gillan the new Executive Minister of the Women Ministries. We are so excited to have her here in the Pacific Northwest for this great event.

 

One last thing, a nominating committee was formed to fill 2 board positions for Vice Chair, and Financial Secretary. If you want to make a nomination for either of these positions or you need more information contact, Nancy Boyd.

I pray that the New Year brings adventure and a life drawn closer to our Lord Jesus Christ.
