Women's
Ministries
The Women’s
Ministry at McEachern is a combination of several ministries
serving the women of our church and community. We seek to
offer ways for women to get connected in our church while
growing in their walk with Christ.
Mission/Purpose
Statement
In obedience
to the command of our Lord and to fulfill the mission statement
of this church, we the women of McEachern Memorial United
Methodist Church vow to lovingly reach out to women in our
church and community by providing Bible studies, Christian
fellowship, service and missions that encourage a deep, meaningful,
love relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ.
“…let
us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and
good deeds.” Hebrews
10:24

If your
child’s school is not represented, we can see if there
is a group praying for your child’s school already or
help you form a Moms In Touch Group. If you are interested
in being part of any of these prayer groups or want more information,
please contact Linda Galloway at the church office, x 6036
or www.momsintouch.org.
Bible
Studies
There
are several opportunities for studying God’s word available
throughout the week with other women. Whether you are just
beginning to study the Bible or looking for ways to continue
your spiritual growth, you are sure to find other women seeking
the same type of study.
All studies
involve small group discussion and some include large group
video sessions. Currently, most require a 6 – 12 week
commitment with 5 reading assignments during the week. These
studies meet in the mornings on Tuesdays and Wednesday and
evening sessions are available on Sundays. If there is enough
interest, Wednesday evening sessions will be offered. Plans
are under way to offer other studies in the coming months
which are not as demanding of preparation time but still offer
good group discussion and sharing. You may register on line
for a study or by calling Linda Galloway at 770-943-3008,
ext. 6036.
If God
is calling you to draw closer to Him through His word, then
look for a Bible study today.
Women’s
Retreat
Our women’s
retreat is an event planned especially for McEachern women,
their friends, family, and members of the community. It is
usually held in September and is a “get away”
retreat that begins on a Friday night and ends on Sunday.
The 2008
retreat will be September 19-21 in the natural
surroundings of Simpsonwood Conference Center in Norcross,
GA. This year’s theme is Fan the Flame .
. . a Journey from Self to Servant. Total ticket
price is $199.00 (double occupancy, including meals and retreat
registration). The popular early bird special ($189.00) will
be available through the end of May. Brochures are available
throughout the church or by clicking
here. Tickets go on sale in May.
MOPS
(Mothers of Preschoolers)
MOPS provides
encouragement, support, teaching and friendship for mothers
with a child 5 years of age and under. In these relationships
moms find answers for their simple, everyday dilemmas and
discover a safe place to explore the deeper principles needed
for life building. MOPS nurtures moms and therefore, MOPS
can make a difference in the lives of the families of those
moms.
We have
lots of fun, food, and crafts plus structured childcare.
We meet
two Thursdays of each month in Oaks Hall from 9:30 to 11:30
a.m. If you are interested in becoming a part of this unique
ministry please call 770-943-3008 ext. 1260 or email us at
mops@mceachernumc.org.
Nursery is provided.

Ladies
Night Out
Twice
a year we offer a special night just for the ladies of our
church and community. The goal is to provide a relaxing evening
with a wonderful meal, great music and an inspirational message
geared just for women. It is an incredible opportunity to
fellowship with other Christian women and have your heart
renewed.
Quilting
Group
Once a
month, a group of ladies meet to work on a quilt that will
be donated to a charity. This is a great time of Christian
fellowship where your quilting skills can be put to good use!
If you are interested in being a part of this group, you may
contact Linda Galloway at ext. 6036.
