WOMEN'S MINISTRIES
Diane Galloway, Director of Caring Ministries | 860.529.1575 x117
Women’s Ministries meets regularly to plan activities and programs for the coming year. We hope that women of all ages—single or married—will take advantage of the opportunities we are offering this year for Bible study, fellowship, support and good, old-fashioned fun.
We welcome every woman’s input. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact us.
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDIES
A BOOK AND A MUG
A Book and a Mug meets Wednesdays from 10:30-11:45 AM in the Church Parlor.
All women are invited to join a twelve-week study to begin on September 18. We will read and discuss Dallas Willard's book, Hearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationship with God.
"Being close to God means communicating with him - telling him what is on our hearts in prayer, and hearing and understanding what he is saying to us." Dallas Willard shares insights into how we can hear God's voice and develop an intimate partnership with him.
To register and for more information, please email Diane Galloway at care@firstchurch.org.

Mastering Motherhood is an amazing community of mamas that meets every Thursday, 12 weeks in the Fall and 14 weeks in the Spring, from 9:15 AM-11:30 AM in Keith Jones Hall. We provide free childcare, a scrumptious meal, gift giveaways, amazing speakers, engaging table talk discussions, and small book groups.

WHEN WOMEN PRAY
Meeting In-Person in Prayer Room — Monday Mornings, 8:30 AM— Ongoing.
For more information, please contact Diane Galloway at 860.529.1575 ext. 117.
The one prayer Christ calls us all to pray requires us to let go of our momentary agendas and take up his eternal one. It requires us to surrender our disoriented sense of need to his perfect sense of what is best. We wait with expectant hearts to see When Women Pray.
All are welcome to join in this prayer time.
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
Are you interested in connecting with other women
and being involved in an outreach ministry?
Regardless of your level of experience as a knitter or crocheter, we would love for you to join us! We will meet on Tuesday, September 10 from 6:30-7:30 PM in the Morgan House Cafe. Beginning in October, we will meet the first Tuesday of each month.
Over the years, members of our congregation and staff have distributed over 200 shawls in the greater Hartford area and beyond, providing comfort to those coping with health and grief hardships. In addition to prayer shawls, baby blankets are also made and distributed to celebrate the gift of a new life. Beyond the sound of needles, the Prayer Shawl Ministry is a wonderful time of sharing and growing together with other women at First Church.
For more information, contact Elaine St. Onge at 860-529-7821.
