Women's Special Events
Women Praying Together You've heard it from the pulpit: our first work of ministry is prayer! God calls each of us into a warm and active prayer life. We seek His guidance, we give Him our burdens and concerns, we rejoice in His love and mercy and we rest quietly before him. All this we do in our personal quiet time with God, but He also calls us into community, and we are richly blessed when we pray as the gathered body of Christ.
A number of women pray together periodically in homes and in the church sanctuary. We pray for each other, for our church, and for our larger community. We invite all women to join us, and we extend a special invitation to all who don't yet feel comfortable praying out loud. Your presence in silent prayer is of great value in the growing ministry at CPC. Questions? Call Jane Alofs, 446-0956 or Sabrina Boltz at 448-9806.
Bible Studies and Discussion Groups
The Monday night women's group will study Beth Moore's "Believing God" video and discussion program. Call the Church Office at 448-5055 for further information.
