WCF Events       WCF Ministries       WCF Service Projects       WCF Officers       Willing Workers Projects & Meetings

The Women’s Christian Fellowship and Willing Workers’ Circle are open to all women of the church. In fact, you are encouraged to participate in both if your schedule permits.  WCF takes care of “the  nuts and bolts” of the church’s needs (like communion and nursery) and has quarterly events to provide fellowship times for all women of the church. In addition, this year we are so excited to offer monthly service opportunities for the whole church to participate in.  Willing Workers’ Circle meets monthly with fellowship and programs, but these are held on Wednesday mornings. These ladies have a wonderful list of service projects planned as well. Please consider this your personal invitation to join us!

2009-2010 Theme
Reach Up (to God)
First we have to establish our “vertical relationship” with the Lord and get ourselves in line so that we can truly love ourselves the way He intends.
Reach In (to our church family)
Then we come to our “horizontal relationships”,  that if we love the Lord, we must love others.  This year we are focusing on passing the Lord’s love from one generation to another.  Find your spot in this process and be part of the blessing!
Reach Out (to our community and beyond)
God’s great love will then naturally also reach out beyond our church family to our world.  We are to be the Lord’s hands and feet.  What a privilege we have!

WCF Service Projects

WCF Events       WCF Ministries       WCF Service Projects       WCF Officers       Willing Workers Projects & Meetings

There will be different service opportunities for the entire congregation to participate in. Some will be REACHING IN to our congregation and some will be REACHING OUT to our community, but all will provide us with the privilege of being the Lord’s hands and feet in some way.  The ladies are heading up these projects with much love and we can’t wait to see how our church family responds to these needs.

Judy Williamson      787-1979
Here’s another Heath tradition:  hundreds of men from all over central Ohio come together for food and a night of fellowship.  Our ladies provide the meal and hospitality for the evening, but this requires several days of preparation.  Judy has this project down to a finely tuned science, but it is an event that requires many willing workers.  (The pies come from many churches, but the beans, cornbread, cole slaw, and drinks come from HCC.)
Aug. 2008         Church Picnic
This event reaches out to invite our community to a family-friendly day at the church AND provide a good old-fashioned get-together for the church family.  “Many hands make light work.”   

 

Dear Sisters in Christ,

As I began my journey as WCF President, it was amazing and humbling to see just exactly how much work is done by the ladies in this church.  It has been a sincere blessing to see us work together as one in the body of Christ.  Regardless of your age or "season in life", you are my precious sisters in Christ- and I count it an honor to be among you.  

Daughters of the King, bless each of you as you "reach up, reach in, and reach out".  This is the year to take possession of the promises of our Heavenly Father.

Romans 8:16-17  
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.   Now if we are children, then we are heirs- heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His
sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.

-Tami

Willing Workers’ Circle Projects

Once again this year the WCF and the Willing Workers are sharing a theme.  Since we had the same goals in mind,  we decided that there was no need to “reinvent the wheel”.  It is our prayer that the ladies of our church will seek  to “tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds pf the Lord”.  Here is a quick overview of the Willing Workers’ service projects:

  • Greeting card ministry
  • Annual Shut-in Visitation
  • Easter Baskets for HCC Preschool
  • Baseline supplies
  • “Joy boxes”
  • Touching Little Lives Baby Shower
  • Can pull tabs and
  • Monetary donations for Ronald McDonald House
