Connection... Support... Praise... Worship...
Community... and Child Care!

By Denise Simms

WOW - Central's Women on Wednesday - invites you to grow, share and experience your faith with women who desire authentic and transparent relationships with the Lord and with each other.

Over the last year God, through WOW, has met many needs in the lives of women of all ages and personal situations - and the primary need for these individuals (whether initially known or later discovered) has been for community.

The Holy Spirit has been at work every Wednesday morning, knitting together friendships and building a close and supportive foundation with a richness that comes only from Him. The WOW mosaic transcends age, church membership, spiritual maturity, marital status, color and income level. The fire in the WOW belly is truly the love of Jesus!

Commit to join with us Wednesday morning, September 10th at 9:30 am, our first gathering of the fall semester, for a "welcome brunch." With great food, we'll have great friends (some you may not know yet!), and it is the perfect time to be with us for the first time. There you'll have the chance to take a look at the exciting studies we'll have this fall, and find one that meets your needs and interests. Some terrific teachers and facilitators will be leading us this year with our servant, Joyce Sackett, who is supporting them. There are a number of topics with different levels of time commitment, so you are sure to find something just right for you. We are pleased that we will have the opportunity to fellowship with and sit at the feet of Debbie Schmidt, our new Pastor's lovely spouse and woman of God.

A special note: If you're thinking, "I already participate in regular fellowship and study (perhaps in my Circle, neighborhood, BSF, etc.)" WOW has something for you too - - for example, WOW's Prayer Group, which experiences a powerful, Spirit-filled time each week. Additionally, you will be blessed by the praise and worship time at the beginning of each morning. WOW provides the bridge of communion and fellowship from Sunday to Sunday and is one of the ways we keep our growing church close. It is a safe and welcoming ground that is a place where women can find support and love and experience the "family" that we are in Christ.

So what are you waiting for?....September 10th, of course! Please pick up a purple WOW brochure at the Welcome Center to learn more about the Fall semester.
