Letter from Sheppard PWOC President

Dear PWOC Ladies,

God is good and I can’t thank Him enough for all He is doing among us and for us! Over the summer we have enjoyed three very successful “Stay Connected” events that allowed us to fellowship and develop our relationships with one another. The daytime Bible study Simply Relevant led by Casey was a true blessing of spiritual refreshment as we learned to rest in Jesus, reflect, rejoice and be renewed in God’s love. And finally we experienced a very inspirational and powerful day of training that laid a firm foundation for what God wants to accomplish this year! To Him be the glory!

As this summer comes to a close and we prepare for a change in seasons, I encourage each of us to let “the Lord make us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image “ (2 Cor 3:18, NLT) Thank you Lord that I am not who I used to be – I am redeemed! To be conformed to His image, we must be conformed to His word, spending time with Him and his people. Our first monthly fellowship is just days away as we kickoff another great PWOC year! Women can find a Bible study that meets their needs and schedule as well as receive encouragement to live a life that pleases and honors God! I sincerely hope you will come out to be a part of what God is doing and invite that sister you know needs to be there. You won’t be disappointed!

I’m expecting great things from God this year and from each of you my sisters as you strive to be an absolute reflection of the Christ who saved you and brought you into His kingdom for His divine purpose at this time and in this place! So join me…..

At His feet,

Cheryl
