Women’s groups are a place to develop relationships within the church family and less of a place of deep crisis. At this time we are placing less emphasis/responsibility on facilitator expectations and running a Women’s Group. As they have become more mainstream with 5+ years of history, the amount of direct assistance seems to not be as necessary as when they first started. However, if you are needing additional help, please feel free to reach out and/or see the additional links below.

Email (womenssupport@ellingtonacchurch.org) or reach out to Sis. Naomi Walder if you have questions or would like to join a Women’s Group. Please know that joining a Women’s Group mid-way through may result in being put on a wait list until there are enough women to create a new group.

• Feel free to start your own and gather your own group of women.
• If you are a facilitator for an existing Women’s Group that is private but open to new member(s) joining, please reach out to Sis. Naomi Walder to find out if there are women currently awaiting placement.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant [...] Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God with worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit worketh all in all. (1 Corinthians 12 vs. 1,4-7)

Have you ever wondered if there could be more depth to your spiritual life? Do you long to find your place and deeper purpose within our church family? Discovering and exploring your Spiritual Gift(s) could help in this. How wonderful it is to know you are essential and integral to the health and function of the body of Christ!  

As believers, we are all called to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance (Galatians 5:22-23). But have you considered how these essential qualities pour into the unique spiritual gifts God has given you? Discovering and exploring your spiritual gifts can open doors to serving with greater impact and deeper fulfillment.

Paul compared the church to a physical body in 1 Corinthians 12, reminding us that every part is essential for the body of Christ to fully thrive. You are integral to God’s work. He has uniquely created and shaped you into the woman you are today.

Take the time to discover your spiritual gifts, and you will find a deeper sense of belonging, fulfillment, and alignment with God’s will as you step into them humbly, in love for the Lord. When you walk in the gifts He has given you, you not only strengthen your own faith but also uplift and edify the entire body of Christ.

Let us encourage one another in this journey of faith and service, using our gifts to glorify God and bless those around us!

Become Matched With A Mentor:  

You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Whether you need guidance or feel called to support someone else, mentorship provides a powerful way to grow, encourage, and walk alongside others.

Join a Women’s Group: 

See the Women’s Group drop down for more information.

Attend events:

Feel the love and support from women in our church community.  We are all learning and growing.  As we grow together and rally around one another, we can feel a deeper connection with each other.

There is lots going on!

See the church calendar https://www.ellingtonacchurch.org/calendar.  

Ask for an advocate

There are lots of things you don’t have to face alone. It would be something simple like asking for someone to attend events so you aren’t alone, to something bigger, like someone interceding on your behalf on a particular issue. Just remember we esteem each and every person and want you to feel the love each of us feels.

Take the Spiritual Gifts Assessment: 

Reach out to someone in the Women’s Support & Discipleship Group or email womenssupport@ellingtonacchurch.org regarding your Spiritual Gift(s) and for additional resources to develop your gift. 

Connect with others who share your gift, offering encouragement and new insights on using it in a God-honoring way. This can also reveal opportunities to pour energy into supporting and uplifting other women.

We Can’t Do This Without You!

Women’s Support takes a body of believers working together. If you are interested in helping out in a specific area, or have specific thoughts or ideas, please email (womenssupport@ellingtonacchurch.org) or contact Sis. Janis Moser or Sis. Lydia Luginbuhl.
