Card-E-ology is a new mercy ministry created to make CARDS to be used to ENCOURAGE our members and friends, including the bereaved or ill and Honor Roll members.

Children’s Christmas Tree

Each year, WIC decorates a Christmas tree with the names of those who give contributions in lieu of sending Christmas cards to church members. The funds are used to minister to local children through Bethany Christian Services, Bethel Bible Village, and Inner City Ministries.

Flowers

Volunteers are needed to help divide the large Sanctuary arrangements into small bouquets after the 11 AM worship service each Sunday and to deliver them to hospitalized or ill members.

Honor Roll

We assign ladies who are no longer physically able to be on the active roll of WIC as Honor Roll members in each circle. Volunteers are needed in each circle to send cards, pay visits, etc. to that circle’s home members.

Newsletter

Glad Tidings, the monthly newsletter published by the Women in the Church, is mailed to every household in our church and may soon be available on the church's website. Various committee members work to report news and write articles, take photos, edit, proofread, design, and prepare for mailing. The deadline for submitting articles or ideas is the first Monday of each month for publication the following month. Access the current newsletter and archives here.
