I've been busy with a woman's event at my church. It was exciting to see 69 women attend our Fall Brunch and hear our Pastor's wife speak on Phil. 1:21- For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. She talked about the importance of being in God's Word daily and weaving Him into every aspect of our lives throughout each day. She started us out with a challenging message: that our women's ministry will be about Christ. It will not be a social club but will always be with the purpose of exalting our Lord and serving others for Him.
We are a new church plant in the south suburbs of Chicago and God is blessing! In two separate conversations with women Sunday after church the topic was how different this church is from some others that had been attended. The idea is that the women want to know God, be serious about knowing Him and living for Him. That is the central thing that pulls us together. We don't want the social club, we want Christ!
Lord, help me to always be a part of building up this body You have brought together!
to the praise of the glory of Your grace,
Norma
