Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips, nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored - Titus 2:3-5
The Women's ministry of Grace Bible Church desires to honor God as we seek to encourage women, young and old, in their daily relationship with the Lord. Our lives mature in glorifying Christ as we learn and fellowship around God's word by equipping our minds and hearts with God's truth, as we serve Him in our homes and family, and together as we serve Him in our church and community.
The goal for Women's ministry this year will focus on utilizing small group discipleship, Bible study and, as God leads, opportunities for service and fellowship.
We are grateful and are praying for each of the ladies and young women in our body. We ask you pray for us as we seek God's leading. We encourage you to let us know of a need in our fellowship or have any idea or suggestion as to how to accomplish and faithfully equip the women of the church to serve and honor the Lord each day in our lives.
Because of Christ's love, mercy, and affection for each one, let us all, as Paul states, unite in mind, spirit, love and purpose to serve Him.
Glenda, Sheila, Karlyne, and Jan
