 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
John 13:35 NIV

In a report from Ladies Day Apart we learned that Wesleyan Women will no longer be its own entity in the Wesleyan Church. Individual Churches and Districts are being encouraged to decided where their Women’s Ministries will go from here. Last night at our meeting we discussed it at length. We decided that Love and Blessing is what we are about. Looking for ways to love and bless in our Church and Community. The verse at the top is something of a theme verse for our group. We are urging everyone to continue to pray for direction and vision.

We will not be meeting in August due to VBS, we will have a regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept 6

Feb 8, Women’s Ministry of Community Wesleyan Church of Kirkville

Opened the mtg with Prayer and Devotion.  Sue Troast’s Devotion based on “Remarkable Women of the Bible” From Romans 16: 1,2  I commend to you our Sister, who is serving our Church, in Kirkville.  I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been a great help to many people…… Yes this was written about Phoebe, but could very well have written about you ladies that are serving.  Praise God.  Helper is someone who stands by in case of a need and willingly meets that need.  Sue talked about the crown being passed on, and we see the Lord working in our midst.   It was noted our balance in our Budget is 333.52.  Elsie Hathaway Fund balance is 223.17.   The following were reviewed:  Our monetary Donations from the Prayer Partner Brunch were given to support Kidz Church bake sale for Relief efforts in Haiti.  Our new Website includes Calendar and this Blog, which Donna and Brenda are able to update.  We also would like to post our Minutes and news on the Bulletin Board at Church for those without use of the Internet..  Donations for the Missions include: $25 to Hephzibah, CNY WWM, Missionary Storehouse, Heart of Missions, and District operating Fund.  We discussed having another Retreat at Delta Lake in April, we need to know of the interest among our ladies and who we might have as a Speaker.  We discussed Having “Hospitality Teams”  to serve on a Quarterly Basis in the Kitchen, setting up, serving and cleaning the Kitchen after Events sponsored by our Church.  Each team would have a Leader and several ladies willing to help.  We asked the question so often asked in our Churches today,  How Can We Reach Other Women for Christ?  We want our events to be open and welcoming to Ladies who don’t attend our Church, as well as those who do.  We want Unity in the Body of Christ.  We discussed having paid Child Care available during events,  having an Evangelistic event where the Salvation Message is given and people are invited to accept Christ.  We talked about participating in social programs to help poor, such as serving at a Soup Kitchen or Food Bank.   We discussed offering some Saturday morning Topics of interest  in the Fall, such as:  Computer Info, Home Economy, Dealing with Stress, Health Forum, Crafts, gardening etc.  We will do a Survey of these type of learning opportunities to see if there is interest in our Church Body.  We believe our Church is Blessed to have adequate Teachers for these forums.  These could potentially lead to a way to have more formal mentoring opportunities.   James 1: 5  As we lack wisdom of our own, we ask of you God, your Wisdom .   From Proverbs 16:3 We commit to the Lord whatever we do and our plans will succeed. Thank you for Your Word Oh Lord.  Donna
