The Women's Ministry at Albert City EFC exists to provide women with opportunities to encounter God's Word, build edifying relationships, and grow in their walk with the Lord. Our theme verse for 2023/2024 is John 15:5; " I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me, you can do nothing."
Our desire as you connect to the Women's Ministry is that you will find a place of warmth and friendship, a place to grow spiritually in your walk with the Lord, and a place for God's Word to be alive and meaningful in your life. Most of all, we pray that as you abide in Jesus, our vine, you will experience the joy and purpose only He can bring.
We have some great things planned for this school year. Take a look at the calendar events below, and plan to join us for as many as you can! We look forward to getting to know you more in the weeks ahead!
Ladies Bible Study April 5th, 9:00am
We are beginning a daytime LADIES BIBLE STUDY on Friday, April 5, at 9:00 AM. The study will be “What the Women Saw”. Do women matter to the kingdom of God? Jesus was surrounded by both men and women during his ministry on earth. He saw, valued, and cared for women, and he still does today. Each one of us has a significant role. Through this six-session study, you will discover who Jesus is through the unique perspective of women in the Bible. As you study the lives of Mary, Martha, Mary Magdalene, and others, you will learn from their faith and failures and be reminded that Jesus cared for and valued the women he was surrounded by. He equipped them, listened to them, walked with them, healed them, and empowered them. And he does the same for you now!
Ladies, join us Saturday morning, October 14th, at 10:00 am for a Women's Bake-Off Competition. We will have 3 categories to enter- Coffee Cakes, sweet breads/muffins, or cinnamon/caramel rolls. Dust off your recipe books and join the fun. Enter the competition, or come enjoy the goodies and help us judge!
November 18th: Parent Training
We will have a parent training on Saturday, November 18th from 9 AM-2 PM. This will include three teaching sessions from Tom Rea (Emma Harms’ dad) and a Q&A time to follow.
