WOMEN'S MINISTRY | OCTOBER 2026

Hello Fun & Faithful Women of God! 🧡


Restaurant Night was a delicious success! We enjoyed good food and great conversation, and we have more culinary adventures ahead. Join us in November as we dine at Luigi’s! Be sure to RSVP below so we can reserve a seat for you. A special thank you to Pat Mears for hosting the gathering next month.


The ANEW Women’s Conference is coming soon (Saturday, Nov. 14)! This is a fun and engaging event that I'd love for you to experience. We were able to extend the early-bird deadline, so there’s still time to register and invite a friend. Please register by Monday, October 19th, and be sure to scroll down for an invitation from Bishop Leah Gregory.


Advent by Candlelight, one of the highlights of the year, will be held on Sunday, December 6 at 4 p.m. in the Family Life Center. Please pray about who God is nudging you to invite to join you this year (and register below)!


For those ready to have some fun while loving and engaging our community, please join us for the Blessing of the Animals on Saturday, October 24, from 10 a.m.–Noon. We’re excited to offer this fun outreach opportunity...and we need the support of our pet-loving friends to help make it a paws-itively wonderful success! Bring your precious pets of all shapes and sizes for this come-and-go event, and invite a friend or neighbor to join you. 🐾


And a special note: I will leave for Seoul, South Korea, on October 26 for the South Korea Pilgrimage for Spiritual Renewal, hosted by Kwanglim Methodist Church, the largest Methodist Church in the world. This will be a time for spiritual growth, cultural immersion, and learning from Korea’s rich prayer movement. Through worship, prayer, and a visit to a Korean prayer mountain, I'm excited to deepen my prayer life and strengthen my heart for ministry. I look forward to sharing what I learn and experience with you when I return.


Life and ministry are so much more fun with you!
