Two The Great Canadian Bible Study The Great Canadian Bible Study was developed by Women in Focus of the BUWC. It is entitled Sisters of Lazarus, Friends of Jesus and looks at one particular event in the lives of Martha and Mary, the death of their brother, Lazarus. It considers their grief and the manner in which Jesus came and ministered to them in the midst of that painful time. Through the scripture passages and questions provided, it is our desire that Jesus will also come to you and will meet you in a very specific and individual way according to your needs and desires. There are a number of Bible Study groups within our church attended by women of all ages. The leaders of these groups have been contacted with an invitation to conduct this Bible study during the last week of January on the day they normally meet. To accommodate those groups who do not wish to interrupt their program, this Bible study will also be conducted on Saturday, January 21, 2006 as a one-time event. Invitations to register have been sent out. The objective is that all participants contribute one Toonie ($2.00) which will be forwarded to The Sharing Way's Guardians of Hope program. Monies collected can be handed in at the church office. The total amount collected will be submitted by cheque to the treasurer of Women in Focus of the BUWC. We're hoping that many women will feel led to participate. Printed copies of the Great Canadian Bible Study will be made available for pick-up at the church office. *** Quotable

PRAYER
AND WORSHIP A new prayer group was formed to pray specifically for the needs of women. We have been meeting biweekly on alternate Wednesday mornings from 11 - 12 o'clock in the boardroom at the church. Our aim is to pray for all WRBC Women's Ministries leaders, their group members, and any woman within our congregation who has a specific prayer request. It is our hope that a representative of each of the existing women's ministries in our church will contact us before our prayer meeting to advise us of specific prayer requests. Jesus said, "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." Matthew 18:20. We would also like to visit each women's ministry group in order to introduce ourselves and to let them know that we are available to pray for them. So far we have visited with the Tuesday@1 group, the Moms group on Wednesday mornings as well as the Friday morning ladies Bible study. It has been a blessing to get to know the different groups and their members better. Thank you for allowing us to join your group in order to get acquainted. We are hoping to visit more of the groups in the New Year. - Celeste Bredenkamp Announcement: We regret that Celeste will no longer be continuing on our Team as she and her family have moved out of the area. We appreciated her passion for prayer and will miss her ministry. We are currently praying that the Lord will lay it on somebody's heart to join our Team and to take up this vital mission. *** |
