Welcome to an exciting year of programs
and ministries for women at Northbrook United Methodist
Church.
The programs and ministries offer women fellowship –
providing a place where growth can take place. The goal
of women’s ministries at Northbrook is to provide
opportunities for women to experience the living Christ
through small-group Bible study, mission projects, community
outreach, programs and special events.
While each group shares that goal, the groups differ
in primary purposes. The small groups of United
Methodist Women – Circles – are rooted
in mission, and involved in programs locally and
globally.
MOPS is a ministry for mothers
of preschoolers which offers moms the opportunity
to develop friendships, creativity, leadership, and
personal relationships with Jesus Christ.
CONNECT is a different kind of women’s ministry. CONNECT is about being bold, getting real, and talking with other Christian women about what really matters to you. It’s about renewing your connections to God, Northbrook, other women, and yourself. If you’re married, single, or somewhere in between…if you’re a woman with children older than preschool age...join us in launching this life-changing ministry that will include dynamic speakers and inspiring conversation. Limited childcare is available on a reservation-only basis. Come to recharge, come to grow, come as you are…and come to CONNECT!
In addition to these ministries, groups such as the Thursday
Night Bible Study provide women an opportunity to
grow their faith, share faith-forming stories that encourage
and deepen relationships, and discuss ideas related
to spiritual growth.
Are you interested in reading good fiction and non-fiction related
to spiritual themes? A Women’s Spiritual Book Club meets each month in the Northbrook
House at 7 P.M. This group
is open to women of all ages and at all stages of their spiritual journey.
The group will be led by Delia Halverson.
A Women’s Council comprised of representatives
of each group meets regularly to pray, seek God’s
will, and plan for the women of the church and the community.
It is the hope of the council that each woman find a
unique fit in ministry to and with other women of Northbrook
and the community.
We look forward to seeing you.
