DISCIPLE WOMEN FELLOWSHIP:
|
| Our purpose is to provide opportunities for
spiritual growth, enrichment, education and creative ministries to
enable women to develop a sense of personal responsibility for the whole
mission of the Church of Jesus Christ.
Group meetings are held monthly, in six groups, to
accommodate women who work and/or have personal obligations.
General Meetings (composed of the six groups) meet on the third
Wednesday of the month eleven times a year for luncheons or coffee.
Worship, study and fellowship are the agenda for the meetings.
Service projects are completed throughout the year.
Women who accept the purpose or mission of the fellowship are
automatically members of the DWF.
