WOMEN’S MINISTRY
Time Together
W.O.C. Saturday Morning Coffees
February 17, 2018
9:30-11:30
Continuing with the ideas that we spoke about during our W.O.C. Annual Meeting and Tea
in November, we want the women of our church to have more time together for developing
relationships. Our November meeting gave us the opportunity for all of the women of our
church to be together at one time. Our coffees in February will give us the opportunity to break
up into smaller groups for more conversation. We will break up into two groups for our coffees in
two different locations. The Garmer Class women will host the Berean and Emmaus class women
for coffee in Lucy Brannen’s home (401 Suncrest Boulevard). The Agape Class women will host
the New Covenant Class women and the College Class women for coffee in Tevis Garnett’s home
(13 Pinewood Avenue).
Women’s relationships are important in the church, and since they are important, we need to
spend some time developing them. We would like to see relationships develop organically as we
take time to be together. Meeting women we don’t know while deepening other relationships is
the goal of our coffees. Our much beloved Elisabeth Elliot gave testimony to the importance of
other women in her life. While Elisabeth was a student, she met Mrs. Cunningham, the mentor
God provided for her. “Many were the afternoons when Mrs. Cunningham poured tea for
me, and I poured my soul to her.” Elisabeth remembered and cherished those times with Mrs.
Cunningham all through her life. Perhaps time with other women like Mrs. Cunningham is what
helped make Elisabeth Elliot who she was. We are hoping that many of our women will join us
for coffee on February 17. Maybe we will meet a Mrs. Cunningham or be a Mrs. Cunningham to
another woman.

Be kindly affectionate to one another
in brotherly love, in honor giving
preference to one another; not lagging
in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving
the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in
tribulation, continuing steadfastly in
prayer; distributing to the needs of the
saints, given to hospitality.
Romans 12:10-13
