Word for Women
| Word for Women encourages women in their Christian faith through the study of the Word, along with prayer support, fellowship and service. WFW offers weekly gatherings with women of all ages who are interested in developing their personal faith, supporting each other and serving together. All women, both members and nonmembers, are invited to explore faith through the Bible and other fun and interesting media. The format includes large group teaching, followed by small group discussions. Each week, the group celebrates with hospitality time, worship time, highlights of service opportunities or testimony. From a Word for Women member: “I am so grateful for this wonderful group of women. WFW is a big part of my life. I have learned so much about God, the Bible, relationships and have developed meaningful friendships with beautiful Christian women.” |

Word for Women Service Projects
Word for Women’s winter service project was to collect items to be donated to Hope Lodge. The American Cancer Society (ACS) created Hope Lodge as a home away from home where people can stay (at no charge) who need to travel 50 miles or more for their ongoing cancer treatments. There are 2 Hope Lodge homes in MN, one by the U of M Hospital and the other in Rochester. Here is a portion of the thank you note we received, “Thank you for your generous donations to Hope Lodge. Donations like yours help make Hope Lodge a positive place for our guests and help to keep operating expenses down. Thank you-thank you”.
WFW has decided to continue to support Hope Lodge throughout the year. We invite members of the congregation to support our efforts. There is a bin in Fellowship Hall to place your donated items. Learn more and view the list of supplies needed.
