ZMC Women's Missions & Material Committee meets regularly (2nd Thursday of the month, morning & afternoon) and is made of mostly senior women. This is a time for quilting & tying comforters. We also sponsor a child through Compassion, regularly taking turns writing letters, and sending additional gifts at Christmas and birthday. Any woman of any age is welcome to join us. For coming events - see Events calendar.
Many women and girls came together on February 12, 2009 to tie comforters that will be donated to mission around the world.
Lectio Divina
Our hope is that women will draw closer to God as they stop the rush in their lives and quiet themselves before him. Through the use of Lectio Divina we are encouraged towards a deeper listening to God's Spirit through a passage of Scripture. Prayer and journaling are another important part of our time together. Supporting one another and forging out new friendships has been one of the most valuable results of this ministry. For information contact Lisa Cowen
