On Women's Ministry

God made certain that women would play many important roles in the Scripture narratives. So it stands to biblical reason that women would play many important roles within the church community as well. In Matthew 28:10, the Angel tells the “Marys” that they should not “be afraid for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see him.”
What an honor to be either one of those Marys and be the first recipients and reporters of the best news the world has ever known!
John 4 tells the story of the Samaritan woman. An unlikely convert, her name is not known to us, but her sins are known. She was like many women today who are affected deeply by a world that devalues women by legalized abortion and the sexual revolution. Jesus met her at her exact point of need, forgiving her sins and healing her shame, compelling her to go and tell that she had just met the Savior.
The Women’s Ministry at Christ Church at Grove Farm is committed to meeting women at their exact point of need, and sharing the good news of Jesus’ unfailing forgiveness and love for them. We do this in a deeply relational way, and in fact in every way we can. We create events where relationships can happen and we study God’s word where relationships are transformed. In between these two, are 1000’s of phone calls, text messages, facebook updates, hand-written notes, boxes of Kleenex emptied and prayers earnestly offered one for another. How could we respond otherwise to such a good and gracious Lord? The God of the Universe was pleased to involve the Mary’s in early evangelism, and the sexually broken Women at the Well as a Press Agent, it is incumbent upon us, fellow women set free by the Savior to so delight in the work and joy of serving the Lord.
