WOMEN’S MINISTRIES

COME LABOR ON! Did you know that there is a group of ladies (nicknamed “Rachael’s Rag Dolls”) who meet twice a month to help keep the Lord’s house clean and in order? Last year we started on the third floor and worked our way through to the basement. We made some interesting discoveries and had fun doing it. One of our current projects is to clean the nursery and pre-school rooms. This group is meant to be an intergenerational group willing to serve the Lord in various ways and to get to know and support one another along the way. We meet the first Monday and third Thursday of each month. We gather at 8:30 a.m. in the parlor for continental breakfast and devotions and then we work around the church till noon. For more information please call Rachael Hall 412-561-3289 or call the church office at 412-531-3387. Walk-ins are welcomed.
