Women's Ministry
Beyond Ourselves...Serving with Love
"Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her own works praise her in the gates." -Proverbs 31:31
The main focus of CELEBRATION of PRAISE Women's Ministries is to encourage the development of relationships through fellowship, spiritual growth and leadership among women.
Women are a vital part of the ministry at CELEBRATION of PRAISE. Through our International Offices in Cleveland, Tennessee our ministries now reach around the world with a multiplicity of emphases and focuses…including prayer, Bible study, local and world missions, covenant team ministry (providing assistance to mission states and regions), benevolence, prison outreach, ministry to both young girls and senior adults, fund-raising, printed resource materials, and social issues that affect women.
We endeavor to create an atmosphere where women can realize spiritual maturity and fellowship, develop their leadership skills, and minister in the local church, their community and the world.
Dedicated women are given the opportunity to make a significant difference in the world around them by their commitment to devote their time, talents and finances to promote the goals and vision of CELEBRATION of PRAISE. Women are encouraged to accept their responsibility as women of God who will offer themselves as living sacrifices, acceptable and pleasing to God; be devoted to one another in love, honoring one another above themselves; serve God and their church with zeal, keeping their spiritual fervor; joyfully hope; be patient in affliction and faithful in prayer; share with God's people who are in need; and practice hospitality. Romans 12:1,10-13 are the foundations for these aspirations.
Women are also encouraged to be committed to teaching the younger women, as outlined in Titus 2:4. "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY - The last Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm we enjoy an exciting journey in the Word as Deaconess Dorothy Jones leads us in a wonderful Bible Study that promotes spiritual growth.
RED HAT SOCIETY - Once a month the ladies enjoy a special fellowship promoting Christian values and ethics. Those up through age 49 wear a pink hat and those 50 and over wear a red hat. Any style of hat is acceptable (cowboy hat, fancy hat, even ball caps are welcomed). The focus of this monthly fellowship is to enjoy life and celebrate who we are in Christ with others. We are taking this opportunity to become "heart friends," realizing how generous God is to have given us a few special women to be true friends of our heart, friends with whom the heart feels joyfully at home.
