WOMEN OF FAITH, 9/23/2024
FINDING GOD’S PLAN FOR OUR LIVES
On Monday, September 23, the Women of Faith will reunite from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in Pedata Hall. This season our speakers will share with us the paths they have taken to discern God’s calling for their lives and to follow where He has led them. Join us as we celebrate God’s willingness to give each of us direction and strength for the journey!
For our first meeting, our own Deacon Barry Tarzy will speak about how God chose him to fulfill the many roles in his life, from a devoted husband and father to a compassionate deacon and steadfast guide serving our parish and the wider Church community.
Each month, our speakers will be followed by table discussions and fellowship. Coffee, tea, and bottled water will be available. We will also continue to offer a Zoom meeting for those who would like to attend from home. We are always happy to welcome new and returning members, and our meetings are open to any of the women in your life you may wish to invite. Please contact Kathy Burns at (609) 923-7222 for more information or to sign up for our email list. We are looking forward to seeing you on September 23!

Mission:
The mission of the Women of Faith Ministry is to encourage and affirm women wherever they are in their journey of faith.
Who Is This Group For?
- Women who devote their time to the spiritual and physical support of family and friends.
- Women who live stressful lives.
- Women who have many demands on their time and energy.
- Women who want a place to receive personal and spiritual nurturing.
What’s In It For Me?
- Opportunity for Growth
- Sharing Experiences and Learning from Others
- Exploring Spirituality
- Fellowship & Friendship
- FUN!!!
In September of 2008, our group began as the Ministry of Mothers Sharing (MOMS), inspired by a mother’s group hosted at other local churches. After twenty-five of our members attended the Women of Faith conference in Philadelphia several years ago and witnessed the strong bonds of friendship and support which developed in that setting, we changed our name and broadened the mission of our group to invite ALL the women of the parish to come together to explore their spirituality, to enjoy the fellowship of other women, and to learn about the many ways others have found to live out their faith every day.
The goal of the Women of Faith Ministry is to give women a comfortable place to share their experiences and encourage one another in developing the kind of faith which nurtures us through the difficult times and supports us in our daily efforts to fulfill the many demands life places on us. The group includes women who are strong in their faith, women who are struggling with their faith, and women who don’t have time in their normal day to ponder their faith at all. Though we are all at different places in our faith journey, though we all have different obligations and relationships in our lives, we all have stories to tell and strengths to share, and spiritually we are all traveling in the same direction.
The group will meet throughout the year beginning on various Monday evenings from 7-9 p.m. in Pedata Hall. There are no annual dues, though we do have two special dinners, our Advent Night and Fellowship Dinner, which are open to members and their guests for a fee.
All women are welcome and encouraged to bring a friend!
