The Women's GuildOur Purpose
To unite all women of the church in Christian Fellowship and with divine help and guidance, to develop an understanding of the work of the entire church, deepen spiritual life, stimulate sacrificial giving, and promote Christian service in the home, the local church, the denomination, the community, the nation and the world.
We welcome and encourage every woman of our church to attend all the Guild activities. ALL women of the church are considered to be Guild Members. If you wish to join a circle please contact a circle officer.
He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 91:11
Women's Guild Policy
The Women's Guild Co-Presidents must be contacted for any events not listed on the church calendar that require refreshments or help from the monthly service group.
Because the number of scheduled events varies from month to month, it may not be possible for the serving committee to be responsible for another event. However, the Co-Presidents, together with the Guild Board, will try to provide help with the unscheduled events if at all possible.
