Women's Ministry
A major goal of the women's ministry, is to connect women. In our gatherings we want to be a group that is safe and attractive to other women who are also looking to connect, share, grow, and learn.
We want to provide a ministry that enables people to feel safe with each other. Therefore, as each person desires, they can share with each other, learn from each other, and pray for each other, all within the context of digging into the Scripture or Scriptural ideas together.
It is in this context that we work to bring together our women, their friends, and others who want to come. That way we can build a caring fellowship around God's word.
Also . . did you know . .
...that we have a Women’s Council here at Highlands church! We have been working behind the scenes for the past year. Our purpose is to equip our women to grow in their relationship with God and each other. We do this by planning for Bible and book studies as well as encouraging group prayer times. We also plan "events" designed to encourage social interaction and build relationships. These event-activities also provide an ideal setting for which you can invite your friends and neighbors.
These are the ladies that make up this team:
Chair: Jeanne Edison
Secretary: Patricia Reed
Treasurer: Jaci Winship
Event Coordinator: Maribel Dayoub
Assimilation/Care: Ruth Bode
Secret Sisters
We are so very thankful for this time of year. Secret Sister time is upon us! We draw names on Sunday, November 7th— it is not too late to sign up.
This year Secret Sister will begin on November 14-December 11th with final gift at our Christmas luncheon.
What is Secret Sister?
This is a sweet opportunity to encourage, support and edify one another through prayer as well as with personal notes, cards and small gifts. It is our hope that during this time your prayer life will bring you into deeper relationship with the Lord as you lift your sister and her needs to the Father. If you would like to participate please sign-up, we would love to have you! If you need more information we will be happy to discuss that with you.
Pray and ask the Lord to bless you to bless your sister, you'll be amazed to know what some encouragement will mean to her!
So excited to see a table filled with blessings on Sunday's! The fun will begin November 14th.
Ready, Set, Go be a blessing!
Reminder:
1. This is a commitment. You are committing to be a Secret Sister until the final reveal. You are committing to PRAY for your Secret Sister on a regular basis.
2. Remember that you will be receiving as well as giving. If you will miss a Sunday or two please make arrangements with Maribel for your message/gift to be delivered.
3. A table will be set up for the Secret Sister gifts.. If you wish to mail a card, a good way to mail it without revealing your identity is to put their address as the return address as well as the mailing address.

5. You can also give gifts for Thanksgiving-- a card thanking the Lord for her.
