Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer
Romans 12:12

As a community of women in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society and the world.

FIRST LUTHERAN WOMEN

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is form God, who made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant. …Since then, we have such a hope, we act with great boldness.

2 Cor. 3:4-6a, 12

Boldness is a call to action. As women who are claimed and called by God, we believe that a life lived boldly is a faith-filled celebration and an investment in the world we want for ourselves and our children. Women are called to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ. Boldness comes in many forms; its basis, in whatever form, is right action by an individual or group. Some boldness is bright and loud. Some is firm and quiet. We celebrate this range of voices, knowing that the avenues for bold self-expression are limitless. Do you have a definition of BOLD? What do you believe is your best BOLD?

A big thank you to all the women who provided candy, Valentines, bags, and cookies for our Valentine’s Day projects. And to all the women who helped put them together. Sixty goodie bags were delivered to the girls at the New Life Center and 20 bags of cookies were delivered to various members of our congregation. All gifts were much appreciated.
