Letter to the Women in the Churches of the Presbytery of the Mississippi Valley

 

	September 17, 2015   Hello, Dear Sisters and Sister Churches!   It is with great joy and gratitude in my heart that I am writing to you today, to share good news and invite you to be a part of something FRESH and NEW in the very near future!   With the approaching change of seasons, we are approaching a new season in women’s ministry in the Presbytery of the Mississippi Valley!  In recent years, we have seen many changes in organized women’s ministry in our local churches, and in the PCA nationwide.  Amidst these changes, many women have served on the Women’s Ministry Team for our presbytery, reaching out to connect with women in these 50 churches.    Hebrews 10:23-25 says “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.  And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.  Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”   We are so thankful that God continues to lead, encourage, and build His Church!  Yes, He is faithful!  Our Team members continue to meet monthly to pray for you and share updates from the local churches.  We call and meet with local women’s ministry teams and leaders, and visit with large and small groups of women.  We discuss ideas to help revitalize the women’s ministry in our presbytery.  We want you to know that as we have gotten in touch, we have listened to you and heard your hearts.  Please be encouraged and know that you are not alone!  Many of you have expressed a desire to get together with women from sister churches, to share helpful ideas and resources, learn from each other, ask questions, and encourage and connect with each other.    Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to the first…
