UPCOMING EVENTS for the Women of Faith
The Women’s Group will be doing a service project to collect items needed for children in Foster Care (newborn—17 years of age_.
We’re asking for the following items to be donated:
Þ Gently used luggage (or tote bags), no larger than the size of a carry on bag.
Þ Bedding: Gently used twin and full size sheets, pillowcases, blankets and comforters. Pillows should be new.
Þ Personal care items: deodorant, toothbrushes & toothpaste;
Þ Small plug in night lights.
These items are given to children who are being removed from their homes.
In addition, for teenaged kids in foster care, we will be collecting items that can be worn to a Prom (formal wear, dress shoes)

The women of Faith are an active group, called by God to assist in many ways in His church. We minister as worship assistants, Sunday school teachers, choir members, readers, musicians, nursery care providers, Council members, prayer group participants, altar guild members, small group leaders and members, youth advisors, and much more - all with the purpose of serving God and each other. We are ordinary women whom God has chosen to use in extraordinary ways. The women of Faith participate in a variety of service and social activities. All women attending Faith are welcome to join in any of our events.
Some of the activities we plan and participate in include:
Annual retreat - February 14-16, 2020,
Assist with the youth sponsored yard sale in the spring and fall,
Assist with the Red Cross blood drives in the spring and fall,
Make communion bread,
Serve meals at Oasis Ministries in Portsmouth,
Various food, toy, and clothing drives for programs throughout our community, and
Lenten Prayer Partners
