The next meeting for the Koinonia Women’s Ministry will be on Saturday, February 20th, 2010 at 7:00 pm in the downstairs rooms of St. John’s MCC, 805 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC. We will be discussing the upcoming events and plans for the 2010 Women’s Festival in September. There will also be a time of fellowship and games so bring a friend or two and join in the fun!

The Koinonia Women’s Ministry is a group where women can fellowship, learn, and grow without any prejudices or judgments. The Koinonia Women’s Ministry is a place for fellowship – gatherings for fun from outings to game night to potluck, charity events – involvement in local charity through creative fundraisers and activities, and with ministry – helping those who are unable to help themselves.

Some of the activities we are planning:

We look forward to meeting each and every one of you as we fellowship and grow with one another.

The Love is a Choice book study sponsored by the Koinonia Women's Ministry will continue on Friday May 22nd in the downstairs classroom. We have been truly blessed as we have gotten into the heart of the workbook. This Friday we will be finishing Chapter 9: Relationship History/Inventory Part One and Chapter 10: Relationship History/Inventory Part Two. These inventories have been an eye opening experience for the participants as some various patterns, thoughts and past occurrences have come to light. Please feel free to join us.

To celebrate our success at continuing to work through and learn from the Love is a Choice book and workbook the participants of the book study are holding an All American Lunch on Sunday, June 28th immediately following the 11 am service. We are planning on cooking up hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, potato salad, macaroni salad, fries, fruit salad, etc. Some American cookout favorites. We are asking for a $5 donation to be put toward future Koinonia Women's Ministry projects such as future books studies or events. Please join us and bring your appetite!
