Operation Care
A wonderful, loving mission of the Women's Ministry is Operation Care. The need to help less fortunate families.
The primary operation supports Rio Vista, a food and clothing "bank". Our church members steadily donate used clothing and non-perishable food. But additionally, the Women's Ministry asks for special gift-giving drives, like request for school supplies for the families in need. They managed to assemble hundreds of Easter baskets in the Spring and provided so many Angel Tree Christmas gifts for children and youth that it takes many truckloads to deliver them! This ministry puts smiles on many little faces!
Annual Retreat
You can't miss knowing about the annual women's retreat -- usually
taking place during the fall. This year over 100 women will arrived at a retreat camp just outside of Payson for three
days of memory-making fellowship. Their agenda
was packed with guest speakers, worship, testimonies, small groups, lots of food, some shopping, more food,
and sleepless nights of giggles, tears, and endless stories. Some depart Friday morning in order to shop on
the way! They all crawl home exhausted on Sunday afternoon, hoping and praying that anyone in their
household will prepare supper! But they
return fully charged in God's love.
This Years retreat will be held Oct 19-21 at Bison Ranch Retreat Center
Christian Buddies
Christian Buddies Coming Together creates teams of two for fellowship, prayer, building one another up, supporting, sharing, laughing and crying together, Bible study, breakfast or lunch or dinner, movie outings, etc. The purpose is to have that one confidential partner to call on for anything and everything.
