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. A new ministry, Sisters
in Christ
, has as its goal to provide opportunities for women
of all ages and stages to grow spiritually.
In addition to these ministries, groups such as the Thursday
Night Women's Fellowship Group 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? The Women’s Spiritual
Book Club will resume this fall. We will discuss and
choose books to read from a list of options that will be presented. We will also
discuss future meeting times. This group will be fun for women of all ages and
at all stages of their spiritual journey.
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.
