My prayer is that the Women’s Ministry at Violet will be faithful and fruitful in supporting our church’s mission to love God, love others, and make disciples! We hope to complement and support the work of our pastors, which will, in turn, help to strengthen our congregation and community. In that effort, we have a few new projects in the works and hope you will join us. These are great opportunities for you to get involved and share God’s love alongside your sisters at Violet.
SIMPLY SISTERS
This is an opportunity to connect and form relationships with other ladies at Violet who may attend regularly, but also with ladies we haven’t seen in a while, who need someone to reach out and let them know they are missed, seen, and loved! This is a 2-3 month commitment where we reach out with cards and letters of encouragement, make phone calls, pray for that sister, and take intentional time to meet and talk face-to-face at least once or twice. This can be as easy as just sitting together and worshipping together in church on Sunday. Our hope is to make connections with ladies across the age spectrum, from youth to our senior saints. Please let me know if you will join us in this outreach program – we need you! Here’s the plan: May-June: Our focus is the ladies in the Violet Youth. Psalm 78 highlights the importance of preserving and transmitting the narrative of God's faithfulness and actions to future generations. We have a responsibility to actively participate in this process. We have coordinated with Keith Hurt regarding making connections with the girls, sending those cards and letters of encouragement, sharing scripture, and praying for them. We also have a luncheon planned for June 1st where we will do a fun craft and a fun game that includes a little friendly competition between the youth and us older gals. July-September: We are making connections with the large population of adults (20’s-40’s) – again with cards and letters of encouragement, sharing scripture verses, praying for them, and meeting together in person one or two times. We have a luncheon planned on October 5th to actually cook/bake together, relax, talk, share, laugh, and do a simple craft. October-December: We are connecting with our beautiful senior sisters! We will continue with cards and letters, sharing scriptures, and praying for these sisters. Our annual Christmas Luncheon will be December 14th – a celebration of Christ's birth with all the sisters we’ve connected with throughout the year! Our hope is that by year-end, the many new and lasting connections we’ve made will have multiplied and sparked new friendships that will continue to grow! “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.” Psalms 145:3-4 NIV
