WOMEN’S MINISTRY

The Women of Christ Church support the ministry of Christ Church, Presbyterian, serving Christ by serving those within our church, our community and around the world. Visit the “Women of Christ Church” Facebook Group.

There are various ways to become involved in this ministry. Present opportunities include (but are not limited to):

The Council of the Women in the Church is excited about all the opportunities available for women to get to know one another,
encourage each other, and serve our congregation. Some of you are already involved in Ladies of Eight where a small group of ladies meet once a month to get to know each other better while enjoying a meal, game, or a craft. Our next groups will be established in January. Please contact Nichole Gautreaux at (706) 401–4858 if you are interested in being included in a group.

Registrations are filling up for our Women’s Winter Retreat February 3–5! We will have The Farmhouse Inn in Madison, Georgia all to ourselves as we hear teaching from Rachel Mellick on Walking in Wisdom, enjoy good food, hear encouraging testimonies and conversations and benefit from a time to be refreshed and reflect. We will return for Sunday morning worship and communion at our church. Be sure to turn your registrations in by November 6! Questions: Contact Faye Robeson (706) 825–5420.

You may remember from our Christmas dinner last year that individuals and families volunteered to provide lovely decorations for their dinner table at the Missionary Love Gift Dinner when we give offerings to share with our missionaries. If you would like to participate in this year’s dinner, Friday, December 2, you will need to provide the centerpiece, plates, napkins, and silverware. Please contact Faye Robeson (706–825–5420) to claim a table or if you have questions or need more information.

We hope that more women will join in these fellowship times, but there are also numerous ways to enjoying working together as well by providing meals for families experiencing illness, visiting shut ins, delivering flowers, assisting in decorating for once a month Sunday fellowship dinners or setting up and cleaning up for those meals, or serving on a committee that plans events and activities. It is fun to work with other ladies and get to know them in a different setting! Contact Linda Jones (706–231–3758) to learn more about the varied opportunities of becoming more involved with the women in our church.
