We would love any and all baked goods!  Chocolate chip cookies, brownies, sugar cookies, etc!!!

Goodies need to be dropped off by Wednesday, November 25 at 11am at either the chapel or the pharmacy.

Women's Day Out~ Fleece Everywhere!!!!

Today, women from our PWOC met together armed with fleece, scissors, rulers, and smiles to make no-sew fleece blankets for a local shelter.

After three hours of cutting, knotting, and praying over each blanket, we are able to present to the shelter 16 blankets ranging from adult sizes to infant/toddler sizes. 

These blankets will bring added warmth to the lives of men, women, and especially children who need it this Holiday season.  Thank you, Ladies, for taking time out of your weekend to come together and share the warmth!

Goodfellow PWOC Goes To Regional Conference

This year, three of our ladies were able to attend the Central Region Conference held in Missouri.

The Conference offered the women from the Central Region the opportunity to come together for praise and worship, for Biblical teaching and growth, for communion with one another, and the incredible chance to be apart of the change of leadership for the next two years.

Held at the beautiful Windermere Conference Center, all who attended were given ample opportunity to get to know the women from their groups better, and to relax in God's creation for self-reflection or just for the fun of it!

The theme of 2009-2010 PWOC: Daughters of The King was reflected in the Conference Banquet (and throughout the weekend's classes and sessions) which sported the theme: Denim and Jewels.  To see so many of the 300+ women in attendance with their crowns, tieras, baubles, gems, and jewels with something as common place as denim, it is easy to see the correlation between the lesson of our PWOC theme.  We women are denim, and all the gifts we are given, namely that of Salvation and Grace, are the Jewels which turn our denim lives into something beautiful and spectacular!

Notes from the Conference:

   PWOC International Conference was announced.

   We will be returning to Dallas, Texas in November 2010.

   Please click here for more details.

We installed our new Regional Board, saying a fond farewell

to our loving and devoted old leadership, and giving a warm

and delighted welcome to our new leadership. 

(Names to be announced soon.)

  Rumor has it, PWOC will be changing its look!  How exciting!

  Stay tuned to this site, for more information!!!

Our ladies came back with information about A Weekend To Remember, a marriage

conference offered by Family Life, a Campus Crusade ministry.  These conferences

are offered at different dates throughout the US.  Please visit this site to learn more.

  Please continue to lift up in prayer those men and women from Fort Hood,

  and from all the bases and units, families, friends, and communities that

  were affected by the incident at Fort Hood!  Let us remember God's love

  and grace!
