Through the
Women's Ministry of St Mark's Lutheran Church. We prayerfully seek to reach
women in all Seasons of life. At St Mark's you will find a place where you
can be encouraged and loved as the unique woman of God that you are!
What women have said:
-
"The women I've met through our Women's Ministry events are some of my
dearest friends. I'm so glad God has placed them in my life…"
-
"I enjoy being with other Christian women and being together gives me
great support. What a blessing these women are in my life!"
-
"I've learned so much by being in a small group Bible Study! That's where
I have felt 'safe' to learn to pray with others."
-
"I enjoy being around other Christian women. Often someone has 'been
where I am' and that gives me encouragement as a mom."
-
"Serving other women in this ministry has been a highlight of my Christian
life. I am learning to walk by faith…to have courage…and confidence in
who
-
The Lord created me to be."
