Hearts and Hands
Our Mission…
The mission of Hearts and Hands Women’s Ministry is to excite the women of our church about in-depth Bible study, discipleship and service so that we become participants rather than observers of Christ’s Kingdom.
Our goal is that every woman would identify and use her spiritual gifts as God wills. We also recognize that many women today have the urgent need for godly fellowship. To these ends, we offer on-going Bible studies and discipleship classes, opportunities for service, not only within our church, but to the community as well, and regular times of fellowship.
In His Service,
Janice Jones
Women’s Director

An Invitation…
Hearts and Hands is not an organization to join, but and opportunity to grow in faith together with other women through Bible study, prayer, accountability, service and fellowship. We invite you to try on our groups for size and be prepared to meet your next best friend!

| Bible Study The basis of our ministry is the study of the Word of God. We celebrate Christ through both direct studies of the Word as well as scripture-based subjects. Past studies have included classes on marriage relationships, family relationships, parenting, growing in maturity, practical Christianity, individual books of the Bible as well as applied discipleship. Popular Christian authors such as Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer and Anne Graham Lotz as well as others are featured. |

Hearts and Hands Book Club What a great opportunity to share what God teaches you through the books you read! Many book clubs meet in libraries or coffee houses, but this one meets in individual homes. The group decides on the books that are read and the discussion format. This club currently meets the last Tuesday of every month. Contact Carol Vandermeid at 886-4744. |
