Lunch Bunch: Meet at Lescale Joseph Brassiere at 12:30 p.m. after PWOC Mar. 6. Please reserve your seat via Jennifer at ajweatherstone@earthlink.net.
in the here and now, we are trying to impact lives for the glory of God. And one of the ways we can all do this is to love one another. This year has truly been a blessing. God surrounded me with a group of women who love God with all their hearts, minds and souls, and they deeply love one other. Friendships built upon Christ are special. It is different when you have a friend who will pray with you, correct you in love when you sin, bear your burdens when it feels like everything is falling apart, and love you even when they know your deep secrets. Proverbs 17:17a says, a friend loves at all times. Thank you all for sharing in His work. I pray you will keep loving each other. I will carry you not only in my memories, but also in my heart. I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1: 3-6). Hugs,
Calling
answer His call. VP Spiritual Life - Sarah: Ive seen God take care me and my family as I worked on PWOC projects. He blessed me with so many answered prayers for guidance and help. It's been fun and affirming to work with the board. Don't pass up the chance to trust God for all things! VP Programs - Terri: In the past year, I've learned God uses me in spite of myself and ALL my flaws. I am capable of so many things I never imagined through His strength! Administrative Coordinator - Pam: It helped me to understand and broaden the parameters of my own faith. Financial Liaison - Dana: God placed me right where I needed to be! It wouldnt matter what position I had taken, the chance to make such great Christian friends has been priceless. This has been an opportunity to serve and use my talents for God's work; I have been blessed beyond measure. Note: One of the great things about being a board member is you can run your position how God leads you. It doesnt have to look anything like the previous year!
Point of order
By Sarah Becking God has been so good to our PWOC chapter this year. I dont want to change anything we do and I dont want to change anything about us. The military forces changes sometimes; because Karlena is moving, Im president now. However, my vision for our fellowship is the same as Karlenas. Lets all keep loving God and loving our neighbor; praying and working for Gods kingdom to come; and practicing intimacy, simplicity and legacy . Many have asked how I feel about suddenly becoming our chapter president. I will miss Karlena: her friendship, her skills and grace. I feel inclined to worry about the new role, but Im learning to be Fearless! I know that Gods power is made perfect in weakness (II Cor 12:9) and now we will all get to see that happen. And God made me laugh: the day Karlena and I got together to talk about the transition, my daily reading was Exodus 4. The line that really made me laugh was But Moses said, O Lord, please send someone else to do it.(4:13) And God was not happy about this request. So thanks, God, I get it. Im willing. And hey, we have a great team. Like Karlena always says, "the best group of women Ive ever worked with." You all are a piece of the kingdom, working together for Gods kingdom to come. May it be so! Love,
Clutter & busy life feel like baggage? Join us for our next program and bring a friend!

Hebrews 12:1 So we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially the sin that just won't let go. And we must be determined to run the race that is ahead of us.
